Sweater for Ethan

I made 3 baby sweaters years ago when I first started knitting, but they didn't turn out so well; the sleeves were too long and the waist was too short and one of the sweater's bottom edge curled up.

I'm going to try again.  I'm going to make a sweater for Ethan.  Here's a link to the pattern:

I got Drops alpaca light grey yarn.

 

There are two important things to take into account when knitting to a pattern: the pattern measurements and the knitting tension.  I have to make the correct # of stitches per inch, so the designs on the pattern and the shape of the pattern is correct.  I also have to make the sweater the right size for Ethan.

We'll see how I do.
