The cardigan is the top down one making the section between the first and third garter ridge white for embroidery.
A six row band of white in the simple skirt was inserted for the same reason. The skirt is knit with a strand of unknown blue cotton and a thread of the Rico sequin yarn held together.i will definitely not win any prizes for bead work. I should have made a string of beads and sewn it on, not sewn on the beads directly on.
