This is the sweater I knitted for Gybsen for Christmas. I used Cotton Ease yarn and I got the pattern from here http://www.worldvision.org/content.nsf/getinvolved/knit-for-kids?Open&lpos=ctr_txt_knit-for-kids

I chose Cotton Ease yarn because I didn't want it to be too hot. I did have to use a smaller needle size, probably because of the yarn I was using. I added a bit to the sleeves. After I sewed the top seams together I knitted across the ends of the sleeves for 12 rows then I switched colors and put a ribbed cuff the same number of rows as the ribbed part on the bottom. Then sewed up the sides and arms and Voila!
