I knit this for my friend’s baby this week. Dennis says it’s because I think of all children as mannequins for my knitting and sewing projects, and babies are the best because they don’t know when they’re wearing a totally ridiculous sweater.

The chart is provided; it’s 62 stitches across, and could also make a really nifty hat or adult sweater with some tweaking. You could just add some extra empty seats to Tom Servo’s left.I don’t make any promises about the quality of my charts, so if you feel like tweaking something, it’s probably an improvement.

Baby sweater in action:

Technically, he is wearing it backwards, and you know what? He does not care! Because he’s a rebel!

Say, is that Manos: the Hand of Fate behind him? Is it summoning dark forces, or just keeping him from rolling off the bed? No one can say.
