Crochet cotton cardigan for Clare

What a crochet feast!  I’ve been away from home for a week (just back today) so without my sewing machine I’ve been powering along with the crochet hook.  First up, a crocheted cotton cardigan for Clare (love that alliteration!)

It’s in 8-ply cotton from Bendigo Woollen Mills (and it didn’t even use up one of their big balls of cotton), the colour is “lemon drop”, and the pattern is a freebie from the LionBrand website (called “Lacy Child’s Top”).

I didn’t do a gauge swatch first (naughty naughty) as I figured that if it didn’t fit Clare, it would eventually fit Stella.  It does fit Clare, although it will only fit for this summer.

Luckily she likes it too (and it’s not pink).
