I liked the yarn and striping I did for Neal's jacket and decided to do the same thing for David. To make sure that David would be able to wear his a little longer than Neal was able to wear his own, I made his larger by keeping the same number of stitches and going up a needle size. Neal is 5 months and David's fits him well, so by the time David is 5 months, the weather should be cool enough for David to wear the jacket more than twice.
