Cardigan, Hat & Shoes in Sirdar Snuggly DK (1723)

Pattern was fine and little cardigan is very pretty. My only concern is the width of the neck band, which looks as if it will not lie flat when worn. I have not been able to put this to the test yet because granddaughter not yet born! However, from the picture on the pattern, it can be seen that the neckband is crumpled up towards the back. So, although the result is basically fine, I would not make this again, particularly because it involves a lot of sewing up (the frontband and neckband is sewn on rather than being attached by picking up stitches). I have also made the little bootees but have not yet sewn them up. It looks as if it will require some precision sewing, in order to ensure round toes.

I have just completed this pattern using Sirdar Snuggly Pearls DK. I am very pleased with the result. I found the pattern easy to follow. However, if you dislike "sewing up", you are unlikely to enjoy sewing the buttonhole band onto the garment (along fronts and around neck).

Looks just stunning when knitted up, great buy

very nice .
