  4. So pretty. Wish your picture was bigger so we could see it better. When you load it to the blog, if you choose med instead of small it makes a nice difference.

  6. Just a question as I cannot see the picture very well...Are there buttons down one side as row 17 is different on the front sides...one side has gaps and the other none? The pattern says nothing about buttons though. Thanks

  7. Hi this is my first item I'm crocheting other than blankets! I've started this and it is curving around over itself like a spiral, is this right? I'm up to row 5, just wondered if I'm using the right wool and needle size, I'm using a size 4mm crochet needle, I think this is a g hook? Thanks :)

  8. To Sammie: You're working over a curve with increases (chain spaces also count as stitches), so it will spontaneously attempt to curl round itelf unless you lay it out flat. Don't be alarmed.

    An American G hook is 4.25 mm (I'm Scottish, letters on crochet hooks mean nothing to me) but a 4.0 mm hook should work out when using a loose tension, but theres no real way to know because there isn't a stated guage.

    Hope everyone has produced a braw wee top :)

  11. Thought I'd let you know I blogged briefly about this wonderful pattern, at this link... http://prayersncrafts.blogspot.com/2016/03/baby-jackets-for-charity-crafters.html

    Our charity crafters have been using it for years now and it is our favorite for baby jackets...so adaptable, and we often leave off the sleeves for summer wear because it looks like little cap sleeves. Thank you so much for this.

  14. Thank you so much for sharing your patterns. I'm learning and this is my first baby sweater. I tried another pattern and had problems following it. Yours was easier for me to follow. I don't feel it turned out perfect, so I'm going to try a second one. I appreciate learning from you!

  15. Do you consider donating to my church a charity. We make bags for the low income family when they are having a baby. I also send a huge box of warm things to a reservation every years in North Dakota because babies and seniors die every year from freezing
