question about gauge

I am the baby set seen here:

you can see the gauge is 28 sts. per 10 cm. I okay with that but ama little worried about the rows. My row gauge is about 1 1/2" shorterthan the 28 sts per 10 cm. I am assuming that the row gauge is not thatbig of deal in this particular pattern since the guage does not sayrows just stitches. I am making the largest size so if it is a bitshort the baby should be able to wear it for a while anyway. I don'thave a sweater of that size to match it against. I hope everyone canunderstand this. In case you are wondering I am not making out of thatexact yarn--it was a tad bright for the mother to be. I am using RegiaJacquard. Thanks. Kristine in Germany

Kristine, I noticed the pattern indicates sleeve length, etc., in centimeters, rather than rows. I would think that if your stitch gauge is correct, the width will be correct, and you just have to make sure you measure the lengths carefully. Of course, that's just my .02

That they do. I used to cut the feet out of the footed pajamas my boys wore, and they could wear them through the next summer usually.

My niece had a pair of overalls when she was a toddler - oversized to fit over diapers - that she wore until she was eight years old! The straps were at their farthest extension and the legs had bright colored cloth bands sewn on at the bottom, and patches all along the front. (It was the sixties and seventies, the more color the better.)

Sweater extensions could be crocheted on in a lacy pattern...

Hmm... a sideways knitted sweater could be made in stripes, and later be slit up the back and new stripes added... then more horizontal stripes added at the bottom for more length, and repeat for a Log Cabin look. The sleeves might have to be unsewn at some point to widen them... the Forever Sweater?
