Oh my goodness!! I LOVE it!!
Ack! So cute!
I really love it! The color combinations you chose are so sweet.
Adorable!! What a great design.
It is very cute! I like the fun you can have with color (and buttons!) when the design is kept to straight-forward lines.
Hi Cosy:
I recently bought your button back mitt pattern, and I love it! Quick question about this cute baby eggplant cardi: Is it raglan, knit from the top-down in one piece? I truly dislike seaming, and love raglan one piece sweaters. I will definitely buy a copy if it is completed in raglan one piece style. Thanks!
Pat
hi pat, no seaming here. although not really raglan. but yes top down. is that enough information? :) cosy
Yes, I’m going to Ravelry right now to buy a copy! Thanks! Pat
