I am trying to get a little stash of cardigans for Raspberry. I hope to give them to her just around Christmas so that she'll have them when she needs them.
I loved this pattern when I knitted it up earlier this year (2013#13). This time, I used the alternate pattern which didn't require a cable needle. It was faster to knit and looks very pretty.
I used the picot edging on the sleeves and the hem. It too looks very pretty but it curled really badly so I was forced to steam press it. As this is an all in one top down knit, I felt that blocking would be more difficult.
The yarn was just lovely to work with. It is a beautiful coral colour and just perfect for this little sweater for a little redhead. I think I have enough yarn left to make pair of little socks but I may save it to make another cardigan from all the leftovers I have.
Size: 6 - 12 months
Pattern: Sunnyside by Tanis Lavallee
Yarn: Knitpicks Palette
Colour: Conch
