I love how this pattern looks! I started with the higher count to allow for a more full skirt. I worked the skirt longer than the pattern requested because I wanted it to come down over my hips further. And then I wasn’t getting gauge as well as I should on the top part and…
Using the basic structure of my Wren Shawl, I made a little one as a gift for a friend who loves dolls. Leftover yarn from my very first “real” socks.
knit turned hem flat, then joined in the round with helix knitting technique. steeked and made a steek sandwich for the side borders. border uses idea from the book “Crochet Kaleidoscope” motif #15.
swatched on several diff sized needles, and the larger swatch was so much more helpful to see this new technique. short rows are rockin’.
starting weights: Moody Blues 116g, French Kiss 117g, Stellar 104g.
Started on the diagonal and added random stripes of doubled Shine + Sparkles. Did the yarns doubled for the fringe as well. Simple and easy!
