Claude Cardigan

Pattern: Claude by Anna Bell at My Fashionable Life

Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cotton Angora SH 09, 9 balls x 98 yards

Needles: 5mm for the body and 4.5mm for the button/collar bands

Notes: Instead of knitting the button bands separately and seaming them up later, I did them using my shorty dpns in a smaller size. They turned out fine but juggling with all those needles isn't much fun either. In case you're interested, there's more on my blog post about the yarn.

Top-down is a true winner - this was made in 6-9 month size but after extending her sleeves for about an inch... my 15 month old toddler is still wearing this (right now actually) ;o)
