This pattern comes from Debbie Bliss' book but I modified the construction to take advantage of Elizabeth Zimmermann's seamless in-the-round technique. I also lengthened the body by an inch based on a suggestion I got on Ravelry. The sweater's made entirely of leftover cotton scraps, mostly Saucy Sport by Reynolds, and was a great stashbuster! I loved knitting the sweater in the round, but I did get some scary raveling when I cut up the front (my machine-stitching needed to be even tighter, apparently) and I found that EZ's joining technique left me with bunchy underarms, even though I swear I followed her EPS carefully. The matching hat features a pompon.
