I snapped this picture while I was blocking the new samples of Baby Sophisticate to show my technique for getting a nicely rounded shawl collar. While wet blocking the sweaters, I simply rolled up a paper towel and folded the collar over it so that it dried in the shape I would want when the sweater is being worn. This helps to avoid the really stretched out and flat collar that can sometimes happen with wet blocking.

I just nominated you for the Leibster Award – I really enjoy reading your blog and think other people will too! Check out my latest post for more information.
I have been seeing these adorable little sweaters everywhere lately! Your post has finally inspired me to make one. Too cute.
Hello Love the sweater but having a small problem with W&T.
Row 5: k to 18(22) sts from end, w&t
Row 6: k to 18(22) sts from end, w&t
Row 7: k to 2 sts from wrapped st, w&t
Repeat row 7 5 times more (you should
have wrapped and turned 4 times on each
side of the collar)
Do you have a video of this section? thanks
Hi! Here is a great video on working short rows in garter stitch that I think will help you out: http://newstitchaday.com/wrap-and-turn/ Good luck!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this pattern! Is there an adult pattern in this sweater? I want to wear this myself. I have looked all over, and can’t find anything. This would be a wonderful knit for my entire family. I no longer have babies…. all of my child are eight and above. Your help would be so appreciated! YOUR blog and patterns are AMAZING!
Hi! I’m glad you like the pattern so much! :) Good news, there is an adult version of the pattern here: https://stockinette.wordpress.com/2012/01/09/sophisticate/ ! There is also a baby/child size pattern that goes up to child size 10 here: https://stockinette.wordpress.com/2012/01/09/sophisticate/ . Happy knitting!
Hi attempting the pattern for the first time, and was curious when I measure the yoke do I measure from where I am in the sweater or from the beginning of my work???
Hi! When you are measuring your yoke, you should measure from where you cast on. Happy knitting!
Hi, I just purchased the older child pattern and started knitting it for a 10 year old. I have a problem! After finishing row 2-5 (6 times) I wind up with the correct 178 stitches, but there are 24 stitches on my left front and 26 stitches on my right front. Can that be correct, or did I make a thinking mistake? Please help, need to finish it soon for a birthday present.
