Notes

This design is so simple yet so beautiful. The pattern is written very well.

My swatch was on guage with a US 3 ( 23 st 38 r ) but after a few rows, stitches were over guage a bit too much. Making the smallest size and down another needle.

This yarn is very pretty and soft. It’s supposed to be very durable, colorfast and non pilling upon dozens of machine washes / tumble dries. It’s also supposed to be good for those with sensitive skin- antibacterial, anti microbial and odor free.

For reasons I can’t remember, I set this project aside for what has turned out to have been quite some time.
I think the interruption was simply getting carried away with making other things.

Added one row sl st crochet, loosely, around neck and sleeve edges.

Ready for Christmas this year!
I gave it away before I could get a better picture.
