I made Bean a short-sleeve version of the Prepster Pullover, and it’s become his favorite shirt this summer.
The lightweight cotton is cooler than a t-shirt, and even though this summer hasn’t been nearly as hot as last summer, Bean is a sweaty guy and I know he appreciates the breezy shirt.
He’s also picked up quite a tan this summer.
Unfortunately, I don’t know that I’ll be using him for photo shoots for a while. The week after taking these pictures, his brother got into scissors (not sewing scissors, thank goodness) and kind of scalped him. I had to shave his head (and the rest of his beautiful curls) to even it out. Luckily no one was hurt, though Tater was in mortal danger from me I was so angry with him.
Forgive the bad iPhone photo; I’ve been too heartbroken and mad to take pictures of my bald child with my regular camera. And yes, he happened to be wearing the same shirt that day.

He’s still adorable, and I love the shirt.

Okay, LOVE the tunic with short sleeves. Now that our crazy travelling is done I am SO looking forward to settling in with this pattern series – can’t wait!! Thank you for the inspiration.
Also, I absolutely snorted coffee out of my nose (ow) with the discussion about your son’s hair – that’s really hilarious. I know I know – I would be insane too if one of mine did that…..
I do agree with Stacey though – he’s so frickin cute no matter what!
(Also, hat month? Hat month!)

Aw, he still looks cute. If it makes you feel better, my daughters went through this ritual when my younger daughter was only a few months old! I was horrified when I investigated the crying baby to find her big sister chopping off her lovely locks! (my second was born with a lovely head of hair) Thankfully, like in your case, nobody was actually hurt, but yes, the older one was momentarily in mortal peril 😉
Love the pullover! I’m a new follower, I just had a boy a month and a half ago and have a new crush on all things handmade-for-boys!
Stacey
Aw, I think he’s terribly cute either way. And I love how the tunic came out with the short sleeves. So many possibilities for this pattern.

What a cute little shirt! Little ones and haircuts…sigh. When I said no to a hair cut when my daughter was 4, she cut it herself in 3 different lengths each side of her head. I think it’s a little easier to handle when they do it to themself instead of at the hands of another. This is a story for your journal, what memories of children are made of. One day you will laugh.

you said it- it is a part of children growing up. when i overheard my father teling my mother he did not like the bangs she had cut for me, i tried to get rid of them by cutting them off. 3 yo logic.. well i think he is totally adorable with his hair cut off. he has a totally wonderful nicely shaped head as many children do not.

At least he was all right! Make a little punk outfit for him! Two of my kids did the same thing but we found them before all of their hair was ruined. And he does like the top, doesn’t he?

I love the shirt… and thankfully the curls will grow back :o) I keep my two boys in super short haircuts all the time :o) Came over from Keeping it Simple. I would love to have you come over to my Tasteful Tuesday Link party! The link goes live MOnday night at 8:30. http://www.nap-timecreations.com/

the shirt is fab – I love the green stripes with the blue buttons. Poor baby curls – my boys are so tall and can always reach things that I ‘think’ are safely out of reach ;o( He is still adorable, and they will grow back soon. ~Suzanne

He looks super cute with a shaved head, though! 🙂 I know how frustrating that can be… my daughter chopped all her bangs off a few months ago. SO HORRIBLE! lol
Emily
Oh no! His hair. 🙁 I do love the shirt though.

Your little angel is adorable with or without hair!
