Coat Sweater for Bella

Seems like I've been able to finish some knitting projects lately. It is a pretty good activity for me to do on the plane. Here is a little coat sweater for my niece, Bella. I'm going to see her very soon and am really looking forward to seeing how she has grown and changed in the last year. Since she is only 1 1/2 I expect a great difference!


I normally try to do everything on circular needles because I hate to sew things up. But I thought I should get more practice so I tried it with this sweater. Since the main part was made up of moss stitch, sewing it up was a little easier to keep track of the bumps I was supposed to put together. Might want to consider this strategy again if needed.
