Category: Knitting

Type of item: Clothing

Materials

2 skeins Caron Simply Soft - persimmon; US size 6 circular needle; US size 4 double pointed needles; yarn needle; embroidery needle and thread; crochet hook; 2 buttons

What are you most proud of?

How 'brave' I was for steam blocking it before finishing it off with the button. Lots of people say acrylic blocking is a no-no. Using a hand held clothing steamer worked like a charm for me - new lesson learned.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

Don't be intimidated! If you think about the project in sections rather than as a whole, it's much more manageable. It's not really that complicated once you do the pattern for each section once or twice. Plus it's great cable practice!

I'm so glad! If you figure out a good way to size it up for adults, let me know! I've been considering trying...
