Oh my! I enjoyed this knit so much. It really was a joy.
The colours have turned out as such a beautiful combination.
The pattern was so so easy to follow and I’m sure I made mistakes here or there but I felt zero pressure to make sure the short rows were in exactly the right place. But it is perfect. It was exactly the project I needed at this moment in time and I’m pretty certain I will knit another.

I knit the Youth size for my daughter Minnie but the finished dimensions were more like the child version.
I decided to just add a band to the back piece before joining rather than knitting the whole thing again.
The pattern was easy to follow but obviously my gauge was off so I would have to go up a needle or 2 if I made it again.
The yarn is such a fun mad colourway and Minnie loves it, although its mainly being used as a coat for her toy dog.
