Kool sweater!
I finished the little Kool-Aid dyed raglan v-neck sweater for Johanna last night- wove the ends in at midnight:-)
This knit up so quick, it didn't even make it into the sidebar...
Some specs:
- allegedly 100% wool yarn, but it has a compact acrylic feel to it. I suspect it to be a wool blend, but would it have taken on the dye as well if it were?
- dyed with Kool-Aid
- Super easy child's raglan pattern from 'The Knitter's Handy Book of Sweater Patterns' by Ann Budd. The fit is good, but in proportion to the sleeves, the body seems a bit too short. Could be a problem with Johanna's little potbelly, though;-)

Wow, that sweater fits Johanna perfectly, and the colors are so cool!

Do you have any of the yarn left? You could always take out the bottom ribbing and add some extra length to it if needed.

Your daughter and the sweater you made her are adorable :-)
Isn't it such a good feeling when you put your handknit on your baby. I get the most satisfaction from knitting for my son.
