Im expecting my first grand-daughter...this will be a wonderful gift for her...thanks for sharing...Oh! you did a beautiful job. Shyla
I love your comment on how people assume you are a grandma if you crochet....Im 43 years young and have been doing this since I was 5 years old...More power to crocheters! LOL! Shyla
I love this pattern! We had a long car ride yesterday, and I brought your pattern along. I was able to make the sweater and a matching sun hat in just over 3 hours! I really like the way you designed the yoke of the sweater and attached the top to create the arm holes. It worked up much more neatly than some other sweaters I've made. Thanks so much for sharing your pattern!!
Good Day. I have visited your blog a few times but never left a comment. Today I am leaving a comment to let you know that your blog is great. I am currently making the baby summer set (I started last night while sitting on the beach). I have a sister who is leaving for college soon and I would love to make her a alpha pillow. I followed the link for the pattern and they no longer offer crochet patterns. Would you be willing to send the pattern to me? Pretty please.

this looks like a great pattern, i have a new honorary niece to make something for, and this looks so cute! a question though, what gauge does this work up in? and what age is it supposed to fit? oops, guess that is two questions!
Hi! I finished this pattern a few weeks ago and have finally gotten around to posting it. =) You can check out my finished sweater on my blog, here: The Happy Housewife: Seed Stitch Baby Sweater. Thanks so much for the pretty pattern!
