This project is just going to go on forever until I have a huge stash of white socks. I’ll mark it as finished since a “pair” of socks has been finished, but I plan on having this be a continuous project until baby no longer fits these so…
I love this pattern, it’s very easy. The ONLY thing that gave me trouble is when I missed the line “Final Heel Row(RS): K8 heel sts” just before the Gusset section and didn’t end up starting the Gusset section in the right place.

Had a tiny bit of rainbow yarn left – going to make another hat, and will use more Bare yarn if I run out of Rainbow. This one I plan to make a little bit shorter than my previous swirl hat since I may have knit that one a bit long.

Looks like unwashed gauge is 22 stitches in 4 inches
This makes it closer to a 6-12 month sweater than the 0-6 month size I had cast on, so I may knit to the 6-12 month lengths and sleeves. It’s only a half inch difference on the body le…

I wanted to use up the rest of the Schachenmayr Mint yarn, but I knew I wouldn’t have enough to complete a Milo by itself so I grabbed a ball of Stroll in White for the garter sections. I actually REALLY like this color combo – I hope I d…
With my gauge, knitting the 2-4T instructions to the 1-2Y lengths to achieve a 1-2Y sized sweater.
Using the short rows described in the comments of a Flax hacks blog post to adjust the neckline:
To do short row shaping for the Flax it goes like th…
