So I made a sweater for Patrick when he was two and a half, and I made the same sweater for him when he was three and a half from the same guide. I asked him what color he wanted, and he said green. When we got to Hobby Lobby, he decided he wanted blue. So it's blue. It's also very well-loved.

Hanging around. I don't have any action shots because it doesn't fit on Patrick anymore. Which is really sad. When I was digging around to find all the things I've knit, I found the gray one and I showed it to Patrick. He said, 'Momma, I'm WAY too big for that sweater now. You should make me a new one.' He said the same thing about the other sweaters I've made him.

Close up of the raglan increases and the neckline. I had problems with this and the last sweater I made for Patrick with the neck. Either his head is awfully big, which is true, or I bound off too tightly, which is also true. As you will see, the next sweater I made him has a v-neck, which alleviates the problem.

All in all, I love making raglans for Patrick. The guide I follow is easy to understand, and the project's small enough that I don't get bored. And Patrick loves them.
