This is the first project that I have designed from scratch. I took inspiration from Debbie Bliss's book How to Knit that has a great section on designing for children. So with measurements and a Tension square in hand I drafted the pattern. So far I have knitted the back & front and to my surprise I am bang on for measurements. I don't know why I thought that my calculations would be wrong, its just it is my first attempt and I was not expecting it to go so well (hopefully I have not spoken too soon).
So sleeves and neck band to go. I want to double check the sleeve length before I start as it has a drop shoulder and therefore the sleeves themselves will be shorter. More to follow once sleeves are underway.....
