Little Monkey's Cardigan

Here is the little monkey in her new cardigan. She really loves it and has worn it almost all the time except when at school (they have a uniform). I haven't managed to put the button on yet (as she has had it on the whole time).

Pattern: Bolero from Little Kisses (this book is full of really cute things) A great pattern to knit, although I didn't really enjoy adding the rib at the end. I don't really like knitting up from a finished edge and they needed loads of stitches from a small edge!

Yarn: Panda Magnum Soft 8ply (I don't usually knit in Acrylic, but I didn't want to spend a lot of money of this, and I wanted her to be able to wear it in spring)

The flower is from "100 Flowers to knit and crochet", it is a Scabious (A lot nicer than it's name). This book is wonderful with great patterns to follow.

I'm really pleased with the cardigan and I'm glad that she loves it too.
