Notes

Pattern to be released on the 10th of August all going to plan :)

The pattern has 3 different skirt options, instructions for the belt and loops, lots of hem ideas, can be knit with or without a hood in DK/8ply or worsted weight/10ply and is sized from 3-6 months up to a size 8.

More photos to follow

Casting on another Teacher’s Pet, this time trying out the 2nd option in the pattern.

The yarn has been supplied by the lovelies at Wicked Knits, and I think it will look gorgeous on Penny. It’s a lovely base as well.

I’m not 100% I’ll have enough trim, but I found that some of the patons merino I have is a very similar colour, so plan to use that in certain spots to ensure I’ll have enough of the contrast edge for the front and hood at least.

9/7 - Started using the patons merino for the stripes. Used exactly 62 metres/38 gms of it for each one (12 stripes wide)
