    About

    This is a really lovely little pattern. Worked from the top down on a circular needle, with dpn’s For the sleeves. So absolutely no sewing up to do. The provisional cast on gives a really neat finish to the neck when finishing off, with no unslightly ridge.
    The wool I used although labled sport, I think was a bit on the thick side for this pattern. Also the yarn was inclined to split very easily and the fibres tangle. Making it difficult to work with at times, especially if picking up a dropped or split stitch.

      This looks lovely in the light colour. I like the combination of the little front borders pattern and the all over garter stitch.

        Thank you Denise. Pleased you like it. It’s a really nice pattern to knit, I enjoyed making it. I chose a light colour to be neutral as we don’t know what the baby will be. Pleased with the outcome.
