I was lurking around my Mom's Etsy favourites and saw this shop she marked that had these for sale.
Score! They were selling the pattern!!
I whipped one up ignoring the gauge - as usual - and it was way too big, the arms way too short. Serves me right. So I started over and went strictly by the measurements.
The only thing missing is a little pocket on the sweater. I find when I cast off I always end up with a wonky corner. I can usually hide it in a seam but when the pocket is only about 4 stitches wide and 4 stitches high - it's just not happening.
I even put little hooks on the mitts so she can hook them wherever she wants. It's too much.
I gave it to my Mom when we went for high tea at The Empress. She was over the moon.
So worth every stitch and every cent.
