I’ve been enjoying working with my Curly Shirley patters lately, and then added my Bibbity Bobbity Boo cardi to the mix, so it was time to try combining the two stitches, to see what I could do!

A standard cardi yoke, followed by bobble stitch for the skirt, this cardi shouldn’t stymie too many crocheters - and then, bibbity bobbity boo! You have a cute wee cardi for your little one. Change the colours to suit either girls or boys.

I’ve had the idea for a diagonal jacket floating around in my head for a while, so it was time to try it out on the hook. The name is borrowed from JK Rowling - I love that word play on Diagon Alley/diagonally, so had to use it!

To join the Curly Shirley family – cardi and beanie – I’ve created a scarf with the increasingly iconic ringlet curls at the end.

To go along with my Curly Shirley cardi, I thought I’d have a go at designing a hat with ringlets - the idea was floating around in my head, but I wasn’t sure how it would translate into real life. Do you think it worked?!

My first written pattern that I’ve been brave enough to publish - any feedback for improvement will be appreciated! The name of the cardi is because of the beautiful ringlets that Shirley Temple sported back in the 30’s.
