Notes

Very cool pattern… finally learned how to do fairisle holding one color in each hand (much faster!). I also liked that the pattern included color charts, and line by line instructions depending on what you preferred. I also like the checkered pattern, and the crown detail is also cool. This is very neat using a slightly graduated yarn for the dragon pattern (like the Cascase paints)

However, you cast on 90 stitches for a child… and then are instructed to do 2 x 2 ribbing (which doesn’t seem to come out even)… maybe that’s just my inexperience coming through, lol!
