B's Little Green Cardi

This is the second little sweater from stashed Astra yarns
It turned out really well
I used the pattern for stitch and row counts but nothing else





The body was knitted in one from the bottom up to the armholes

This was easier when trying to use up odd lengths of yarn and made sure that the stripes matched across the whole garment

B's Aqua Lace Bouquets Cardi

Had quite a lot of leftover Astra yarn in a variety of green colours
I have no idea how long I have had it but it needed using up
Should be enough for 2 little cardi's for little Miss B

This is sweater #1


There was almost enough of the Aqua but not quite so I used some white as contrast.
I think it worked out very well
I did not do the lacy bits on the sleeves as little fingers can so easily get caught in the holes and I had the stripes to contend with too!
