Comments: I didn't alt the pattern, but in the end knowing what I know now I think I would make some slight adjustments.
I chose to knit the 8/10 size even thought Miss Mac is truly a size 6. I figured she would get more uses out of it with the larger size. Knowing that I really should have measured her arm length.
The pattern states that it has long sleeves that roll up but these seem super long. I'm thinking that's because of the larger size. Also the pattern has you picking up stitches along the front, neck and back down the other front so many times per so many stitches. This was a tad frustrating and if I were to do it again, I'd pick up all the stitches and decreased on my next row.
Miss Mac picked out her own buttons and was thrilled to do a photo shoot at one of the local nature routes. Isn't she just a hoot!
Makes me want to make the adult size for me!

Where did you find that bank of yellow flowers? It's the perfect backdrop for Mac's gorgeous self in that gorgeous sweater.
That is such a lovely sweater, and the pictures of it are splendid!
