Notes

Very serious model pose! She loves it, I love it and it has room for growth. Makes a cute 3/4 sleeve top on my 4.5yo boy (he’s very patient and didn’t mind trying it on). I LOVE Rowan’s wool cotton! So lovely to work with and feels fantastic against skin.

MOD details for anyone who cares: Going Chinese on this. Sort of amalgam of Daisy & the Debbie Bliss rib collar pattern.
So started with the “Daisy” as a base & provisionally cast on. Only did 6 increases at the fronts. Only did 6 decreases on the sleeves. Then 2x2 rib for sleeves 12 rows and the 1 row contrast & cast off. Increased at sides of body every 4th row 5 times. At finished length 38cm (15”) did 1 row contrast & 1 row yo k2tog, 2 more rows contrast & 5 rows mc & hemmed.
Cast on 2x2 rib for collar 3 stitches to 4 rows up fronts and picking up the provisional cast on stitches at neck. At 7cm changed to cc for 1 row knit & then cast off in purl. Then I didn’t like the change in colour showing on the wrong side if the collar was turned back. So I did 1 row of single crochet in cc right around picking up the bumps of mc on the reverse. This gave the opening edge a nice i-cordy look that I like. Did a bazillion lazy daisies around the yoke to cover some wibbly wobbly stitches & those underarm bits.
