Raspberry's Purple Stripes

As I suspected the little pink sweater was too small.  Too narrow by a long way



I bought some purple yarn as that is Little Miss' favourite colour right now and started again

I followed the 8 year size as I calculated with the yarn and needles I was using that would result in a 24 inch sweater
I adjusted sleeve length and sweater length too

4 buttons so that if the sweater is a little long then it won't restrict her legs

Sleeve seam 8 inch
underarm seam 8 1/2 inch
Added decreases every 6 rows for sleeves
8 rows rib for sleeves and sweater
5 rows rib for front bands

Size: 8 Years
Pattern: Yikes! Stripes by Yarn Madness
Yarn: Patons Astra

Colour: Hot Lilac, Fantasy
