My Steven Sweater...

This is the sweater that I made for Steven's first birthday in October. It is sooo cozy! I used a cotton/acrylic blend from Lion Brand. The stitch is a gentle ribbing which adds to the coziness. Steven isn't quite sure about the hood, but he sure is cute in it.

The best feature of this sweater is the back zip. You can pop it over his head a zip it up before he takes off. The tab at the bottom was actually a fix for a zipper that I put in too high. When I finished sewing in the zipper by hand, I had a 2" space left over. I was NOT taking out that zipper so I just added the tab and a button. Sarah and I liked the finished look, with the new 'design element'.
