SOPHIE Baby Cardigan Jacket - knitted by Jennie Walls |
Jennie Walls– a member of my facebook group - adapted one of my baby jacket patternsby adding a different stitch pattern to the lower half. I think it is so pretty – and I thought some of you might like to make it too.
Thank you very much Jennie for sharing – and for the name too – I love that you suggested calling it after your granddaughter 😊
