2013 #9 Pink Maile Cardi and Hat




Another little cardi for the new baby. 

I found this yarn in my stash.  It has been sitting there since our first granddaughter was born in 1999!!

 I saw this knitted up and on display in  Little Red Mitten Yarn store.
It looks beautiful and is very straightforward to knit.

It is a lovely little pattern but  I did not like the armhole/yoke treatment.  I had some very large loops under the arm. They were easily darned in as I joined the sleeve seam but I think next time I'll try  the traditional cast off/cast on method.
I had oodles of yarn left over so I made a little hat too.

Size: 0 - 3 months
Pattern: Maile Sweater by Nikki Van De Car
Yarn: Yarn Craft Baby Sayelle
