FO: Dinosaur Sweater for my son
Hello!!!

As always, I am popping in to say hi and show my last FO. Our family is a bit crazy about dinosaurs so there you go. This version (it's a second sweater with the same pattern) is a bit less detailed due to gauge but it's sooo warm. Also, the original sweater has brown instead of black and looks more like a silhouette with the sunset on the background. Well, that's what I was going for anyway







Since I mentioned the original design, that's what it looks like. I am debating leaving it as a vest... What do you think, sleeves or no sleeves?

OMG that is adorable and so is your son!
My opinion on sleeves is if it's cold enough to wear a warm sweater you're probably going to want sleeves. It looks cute either way though.

Beautiful sweater, Olha!

Handsome son!

I vote for sleeves.

A superb sweater, Olha! Lovely work! Looks like you block your work, too!

My vote: add the sleeves to the brown-pumpkin-white 'vest'. Without sleeves it looks overall like a woman's sleeveless tank, something about the shape of it, regardless of the dinosaur...it looks feminine.

Oh, how very cute, Olha!

I vote for sleeves, too. Sounds like you need them! Now, if you were in a nice, mostly-warm place (like Texas), I would say skip them. But you're not. So, yeah, sleeves!

Oh, I missed the sleeves question as well. And I vote for sleeves along with the rest. Still. Great sweater.
