Knitted Cardigan for Eli


I started this cardigan in Summer when we were having a cold spell of weather.  Using wool from my stash and buttons from my recently sorted sewing drawer it became an exercise in using left-overs as well as creative designing.

 I am happy with the finished item, although 4ply is not my favourite wool to knit with as I don't feel it knits as neatly as say 8 ply.  The buttons I think are a clever compliment to the design and colours.  If you look closely you will see that the red ones are covered in black dots.

Eli is my friend Meg's first grandchild.  I hope the size is appropriate for a 10 month old.
