My first sweater for my daughters (both wore it, different years) looked very much like the last picture! They were only 3 at the time, and thought it was wonderful, LOL! My firend helped me, said "knit to the shoulder". I did so, thinking top of the shoulder. NO, it was a raglan sweater, she meant the bottom of the shoulder blade!!! So, it turned into a knitted dress. Not a cowl neak, and it was faux cable, but it was almost the exact same color!
