FO - Rays of Gold MKAL

I'm working on a project for me today. Not much to see yet so I'll save photos for another day :-)  Instead I'd like to share this FO with you.

I was very excited when I learned there was going to be another mystery KAL by Elena Nodel and as usual this one didn't disappoint.

This sweet little cardigan was easy to knit up and is such a versatile garment

The stitch pattern is simple to do and works beautifully in both multicoloured and solid yarns. I chose to use this particular yarn because I'm trying to knit down my stash and it was the right yardage and gauge for the pattern! It's worked beautifully though

Ravelry page: here. I knitted the 3T version which was a size bigger than my daughter needed so hopefully she'll be able to a couple of year's use out of it. The stitch pattern is very stretchy and grows while blocking.

I'd definitely knit this pattern again although probably not for a while as I don't have any yarn for it and my daughters have rather a lot of cardigans already! Maybe next year lol.

Linking up with Tami, Nicole and Ginny.

    1. She goes to pre-school for 3 mornings a week at the moment and will do 5 mornings from September. I miss her cheekiness but it makes the time together extra special
