Announcing the completion of my new design project! The Spring Garden Tee!
I just love it! It is so feminine and girly!
Here are some more shots of it that wouldn't fit into my photo collage.
What I strive to offer with all of the patterns that I put up is a nice size range. Just like the Watermelon pattern and also the Playful Stripes pattern, the Spring Garden Tee is sized from 3 months- size 6. Just perfect for daughters or granddaughters of different ages.
Also this pattern, like the others, offers simple construction. The Spring Garden Tee is worked in one piece from the top down with no seaming whatsoever! I think that the instructions are easy to understand and this project works up fast. This top could easily be knit up in only one weeks time!

ReplyDeleteSo tempting! I might just have to knit this one too.
ReplyDeleteSimple adorable! Yet another of your patterns to add to my queue for my niece! (your daughter is adorable too!
ReplyDeleteit 's simply beautifull!!!
ReplyDeleteHow do you do the purlwise longtail cast on in the middle of the sleeve ruffle section. I am working on this patter and am stalled at this point?
ReplyDeleteTo reply to "ahousefullofboys" :
ReplyDeleteIm so sorry about that! I realized after the fact that I made an error in the pattern there. What I meant to say is to use the "purl on" cast on method. If you dont know how to do that one, you can just use the backwards loop method. The main thing to worry about is getting those sts cast on, not so much about which method you use. I like the "purl on" method because it looks nice and neat. But anything will work.
Sorry again about that. I have since corrected the pattern, if you send me your email address Ill be happy to send you the revised copy.
Thanks!
