Simple triangle to make use of this one fabulous skein from the bargain bin!
I’m using this pattern, but making her all in cream, and then adding underware and clothes. The clothes will be out of Shine Worsted because that’s what I have leftover from the other project for this birthday (Pinwheel sweater).
