Time to Start your Spring & Summer Knitting

As promised, here is a picture of our summer cardigan that Linda knit using Sirdar Flirt. It is so cute! The yarn knits up with a beautiful drape and is lovely to feel. Flirt comes in a super range of colours from pastel to bright - a colour for everyone - see post for March 24th. You can also use Sirdar Baby Bamboo.



What is in the above picture?  It is actually part of the back, the draped fronts and the collar of the cardigan. Believe me - it really is!
The sleeves and the rest of the back are knit in one piece. It is then sewn together and blocked. Blocking is a must with this particular garment. Blocking is easy to do and gives your garment that "professional" look!

The fun thing with this pattern is that you can make one for yourself and even one for a special young girl. 
Wouldn't this cardigan make a great accessory to wear on a cool summer evening, to wedding or for a  flower girl, bridesmaid or even the bride to wear.
