Cheeky Monkey

Another sweater for the little guy is finished. I just can't seem to stop making these, and he's growing like a sunflower, so he needs a new size every couple of months!

This one is called Cheeky Monkey:

I love the little pockets. I like to put pockets on all my sweaters, even infant sweaters. It gives you place to clip a little toy or other tiny necessity.

My bf liked this sweater so much, he wanted me to make a big size for him! It would be cute for a guy with a shawl collar....

My next sweater for the small guy is going to be a Doctor Who style sweater... can't wait!
