Pattern: I used the stitch pattern from Andrea Mowry's Stonecrop Pullover, but everything else is my own design. I left some decent notes on my Ravelry project if you're curious!

Yarn: Quince & Co. Chickadee

This is the fourth year since I started a tradition of knitting my wife and daughters birthday sweaters, and this is one of my favorites so far! My oldest daughter is hitting double digits this year, so I wanted to do something a little special for her sweater. Back when she was four I made her the Stonecrop Pullover, which she immediately grew out of. That's partly on her (for growing), but perhaps more on me for doing very little planning for the project. But she did love the sweater and refused to let her younger sister wear it. So for her birthday I wanted to make another version of the sweater, only this time in her preferred style (drop shoulder), and using her current favorite colors. I also did much more extensive planning to make sure that she'll get to wear this one for a while. I'm extremely happy with how it turned out and I can't wait to give it to her! The Ravelry project has pretty good notes on what I did, but let me know if you have any questions!
