Over the next four days I’m going to try and post a few items that I made for a very good friend of mine, who I’ve known since primary school. She had a little boy earlier this year and I was only too happy to knit her a little outfit.

First off, I knitted this little cardigan, which is a great DROPS pattern. I thought I’d be able to use up some of my stash for this and I kind of did, but it turned out that I didn’t have enough of one of the greens, so I just used another one and I actually think it makes it look really quirky.
I actually love how it looks, it’s very different to what anyone else would have done I think.
The arm shaping was a little bit odd, and I wasn’t sure it would work out, but that’s mainly because you fold over the end of the sleeve so it actually looks fine when it’s on I’m sure.
I had some nice leaf buttons in my stash that were just the right ones to add to the cardigan.
