I don't think it's worth bothering with a detailed autopsy. I can figure out a lot of the reasons this little sweater went so wrong (should've added some sleeve shaping, the gauge could be looser), but others (why does the top bulge out like a mushroom?!) are beyond me. And I don't think it matters because I plan to lose this thing as soon as possible.



Poor little guy -- I've knit him two sweaters in a row that absolutely don't work. So much for quickly whipping out a couple of nice sweaters for the boys to wear to church...
