  1. Lovely simple little top instead of casting off could you put sleeves instead for the cooler weather

  2. Hi Marianna, I left a comment for you in your group page but I think you must have missed it, it's regarding a misprint for size 0-3 mths. On Row 22 it reads (K9 P4), instead of K9 P2. A small misprint but would be confusing for a beginner. Thank you for all your time making these wonderful patterns, love them all! Cheers, Sue

  5. I've just knit this pattern for the first time and absolutely adore it. It has turned out so pretty and I teamed it up with one of your headbands with a little flower attached. Love it!
