Sundog Yoke

I decided on knitting the 24″ (3 yr size) for my 2 3/4 yr old. He still wears 2T clothes so I waited until the last possible point to commit. Basically, I knit until the instructions for the 22″ and 24″ deviated. Then I transferred the yoke from needles to waste yarn and had Isaac try the yoke on.

The 22″ would have certainly fit but I concluded the 24″ wouldn’t look particularly sloppy and therefore would be the better choice. If you plan to do a similar fit-to-where project, do note that the yoke is not the end of the increases on this garment. In other words, the yoke doesn’t need to reach the armpits. This is because there are some raglan increases after the yoke is complete. This should make for a much better fit, but is something to be aware of as you plan for the intended recipient.

He looks amused to be wearing a sweater fragment!

Bind it off! He looks like he couldn’t be happier wearing that dickey-like kinda shoulder pad. You can start a new trend in toddler style :)

Isaac is certainly a cute kid. Makes sense, knowing the roots from which he sprang, but still. Nice yoke, too.

Adorable Isaac!

Hard to knit as fast as the toddlers grow!

The yoke looks great, I love the name of this pattern!
