Rosedale Park is a snuggly, quick knit. It features a simple knit/purl design that diminishes to an attractive crown leaving the pompom truly a matter of personal preference!

This pattern has been professionally tech edited and test knit to reduce the potential for error.

NOTE: Accurate gauge is EXTREMELY important for a correct fit when so few stitches are involved. A SMALL variance in gauge can make for a BIG difference in the size of your finished project and whether you run out of yarn before finishing.
