…so titled, because my friend just gave birth to a little creature named Magnolia and this pattern? Was inevitable.

Knit in a (lovely and soft) acrylic, because anything other than machine washable seems like a mean trick on new parents. No fuzzing during the blocking process, which seems encouraging.

Shown modeled on both the five-month old recipient and her cat, Bert, because look - if we’re friends and I send you a knitted good, I will need to receive photos of said good modeled on a cat. If you don’t have a cat, you’ll need to hire one. These are the non-negotiable terms of our friendship.
