First Fit Check!

Day 7, The #CowParade project

Fortunately,  the floats are slack enough that I was able to slip the yoke over the cow’s head, ears, and antlers to do a fit check.

Since none of this project is “off the shelf,” I needed to make sure my calculations actually worked on the cow.

(Yeah, no pattern for sweaters for cows in Ravelry. They should rectify that!)

So far, so good.

The next big challenge is going to be separating out the front leg stitches from the yoke. I’m a little nervous about it, but ultimately, knitted fabrics do have some give, so it should be okay.

Now a row of apples has joined the chickens.

One more increase row and one more motif until shoulder separation.

Stitch by stitch!
