Hooded Baby Teddy Bear Sweater

The sweater is knit from the top down, starting with the hood, followed by neck, raglan increase, body, and finally sleeves and finishing. The body of the sweater is a simple garter stitch followed by a stockinette stitch pattern. You can add extra personality to the sweater by finishing it off with some super cute buttons. Size should fit 9-12 mo. baby. I used 2 skeins of I Love This Cotton Yarn in Dove, but you could also use a soft wool yarn of similar weight for a warmer sweater. I used US7 needles to knit the majority of the pattern, and switched to US5 size for ribbing on the bottom of the sweater and cuff of the sleeves. I've also tried it using US7 for the whole thing and that turns out fine too.
