birthday party cardigan

For her fourth birthday she got this dress from us. She loves dresses. Like most girls her age. I brought the dress with me to three yarn shops until I found the right colour of yarn.


The cardigan is a Drops pattern I tweaked. Not much, but I simplified and made it shorter. You can see the details in Ravelry. Oh, and I need to find the right buttons.

She has begun itching while wearing wool. A wool-knitter-lover’s nightmare. I do not like to knit with cotton.

Also I had to bribe her to let me take photos. I hope it was just that day and not a new trend, if not I need to buy more cookies… or open a bakery.

Lucky for me she loves making faces, and she has a lot of them.

  7. Nydelig jakke og nydelig jente! Ull-kløen, ja.... her i huset lurer vi oss til med ull allikevel, i form av merino, alpakka, eller blanding alpakka/silke eller merino/bomull. Begge deler funker helt fint!
    Takk for hyggelig hilsen på bloggen min, forresten. Ja, gult er alltid kult!
