| Easy Baby Sweater Reviewed by Carol Hoffman on 2009-08-15 |

| This was NOT so easy and I had to rip it out several times. The sweater just didn't come together as simply as it seemed. The 'dropped' sleeve was not mentioned, and was a little wierd to work,though it appears in the picture ad the sweater seems a little short. I made the 1 year size and had to redo it for length. Won't make this one again.The yarn suggested was not the easiest to use either.
