ReplyDeleteIt's lovely so unusual, the raglan pattern looks like little Christmas trees. :) x
ReplyDeleteA little guidance on much yarn is needed. Please and Thank You.
ReplyDeleteMarianna, I am so pleased to find a link to you. Firstly, I must say 'Thank-you' to you for your lovely top down patterns. My friend Gwen persuaded me to try one after not knitting for 30 years!! Now I don't stop and make a lot of these little tops for Charity.
ReplyDeleteWhat I am wondering is:- How can even the smallest top down be reduced even further to fit dolls of 7,9,10,11 plus inches. I am itching to make a top down for a friends daughter and dress her baby doll in a top to match. Can you possibly one day come up with the pattern reduced even further. I would be so grateful. Thank- you in anticipation.
Thank you for this!
ReplyDeleteI love your Patterns! Thank you to share withUs. I wish God bless you and family too.
ReplyDeleteI love the wonderful patterns.
ReplyDeleteGrateful for sharing.
God bless.
Thank you for sharing. I've got two great granddaughters... well nearly one is 4 months and the other one is due in July -
ReplyDeleteFrom Lockdown South African. Go well and stay safe.
