    4. She is making the sweater a larger size by using a 5.5mm hook. She is using the same pattern, but the larger hook makes it bigger.

    1. I have the same idea, but for a new nephew! How many ounces of main color, white, will it take and how many ounces of contrast color for the 6-12 mo size. I so appreciate the free pattern, but always need to know ounces needed.
