I absolutely LOVE this thing, It's so soft and cuddly. I put off finishing it once I'd made the pieces because I was afraid of sewing in the sleeves, but that part was actually easy! I started it on March 3, 2007 (!!) but ended up losing the yarn when I went to back to finishing, so it got put aside for another year. When I finally found the yarn, I did the neckband and button band in one day.METHOD:
This is a Moda Dea pattern, and this is done in Moda Dea "Dream" in colorway "Plum." It was done entirely on size 6 needles. I added Swarovski buttons and cut out the fringe.
AND WHAT DID WE LEARN?
1. So it's more like a cropped sweater, since the fringe was probably supposed to add length, but as it is it makes a great cover up for dance class.
2. I ended up having a lot left over so I'm drooling over maybe making a beret or something to match.
3. The bottom wants to flare out and makes my waistline look bigger than it is, but it's so soft and fluffy I really don't care!
