I finally cast off the collar on the
coat/cardigan I was knitting for my daughter. And sewed on the buttons. It is knit in a local worsted weight yarn on 5 mm needles. The credit for the idea for this coat goes to Shells who suggested it to me. (She is going to test knit for her daughter's size). I knit a size four so it is a bit large on my three-year old. However, she was so pleased with it, she kept it on for hours, resisting all attempts for it it to be taken off.
I am going to write up the pattern over the weekend and then have it test knit, inshaAllah. And yes, I am looking for a name for the pattern.
First of all, I LOVE it! It is very pretty and looks incredibly cozy! Secondly, I cannot WAIT to test knit it.
ReplyDeleteAnd...I am pretty sure that a good name would be "Sunburst" considering both the color and the patterning on the torso.
Beautiful coat, how wonderful that she liked it so much!
ReplyDeleteI agree with the name idea! What a lovely little coat. When the pattern comes out, I will suggest it to some of my friends, or maybe even make one as a gift--love the construction.
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful pattern giving great shapes.

Your so talented, it is absolute gorgeous and it fits your little girl perfectly not to mention that she looks beautiful in her girl coat.
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought of the sun when I saw the design of the yoke. What a lovely pattern! Sunburst, which Shells suggests, seems a perfect name. samm
ReplyDeleteLovely lovely lovely. Sunburst is the perfect name too!
ReplyDeleteAah! It's too too cute! I think the color is lovely on her, also.
ReplyDeleteI just had to say how beautiful the coat is. I agree "Sunburst" is a great name. You're so talented! :)
