I was literally just thinking I really want to knit a cute jersey and bamoo! Here it is! I've knitted the hat and I have enough yarn to make a jersey to match it's going to be darling! :) I hope booties and possibly mittens to match will make there way on to your blog? <3

My first time making a cardigan ever, my first knitted project, and the pattern threw me.

It said after r18, to work the last 2 rows eight more times. So I did, then later realised it meant 16 times, not 8 :(

thank you for letting me download your patterns they will be made and sent to my local hospitals
