    About

    I initially made this “shortie” sweater in an extra small. But once done, it looks too small for my daughter-in-law-law who usually wears extra small sizes. So I knitted a second one in a different color and in a size small. So hopefully if one doesn’t fit her the other one will.

    Update: The small size was the best fit for my daughter-In-law so I gave the first sweater that was an extra small size to her daughter.
