My Little Bumble Bee

This Saturday, our little Coco will turn three, so I decided to knit him a jumper for his birthday. I sorted through my wool box and found three lovely Autumn colours, then went searching the internet for a pattern that would fit his size. Well after much browsing, I found one I thought would be suitable, but it was hard to tell from the photo shown, even so, I decided to give it a go and downloaded the PDF pattern.

 

It was simple enough to knit, and was all completed in a couple of days. However, even following the pattern to the letter, the jumper turned out slightly larger than expected. The length was perfect, but the underside a little too wide at the front which in turn made the polo neck loose, so it slipped down his shoulders.

 

He looks really cute in it just the same, just like a chubby bumble bee, but next time I will try making one using a different pattern.
