My girl attends a school that requires students to wear uniforms. We bought her a boring white cardigan at a store, and after 2 weeks of wearing the sleeves are already stained. I'm cool with that though, stains mean she is having fun in kindergarten, and it forces me to make her some cool sweaters myself.
This is the Bebop Cardi in Caron Simply Soft black. I'm limited to only using uniform shirt colors- black, white, navy blue, powder blue, green, and yellow. Since white was obviously a mistake, I wanted to make a quick shrug in the most stain resistant stuff I have.
I went down a hook size to an H-8, but I still had to add extra decrease rows at the yoke to keep it from slipping off of her shoulders. Believe me, she was fed up with me putting this thing on and off her today, and her silly poses show that.
To personalize her shrug, I made her some shrinky dink buttons with cute little Totoro characters. I have a bad feeling about putting these buttons through the washer and dryer though, they may end up getting replaced, even though Kazia loves them.
I also modified the edging by doing a (sc,ch 3,sc) picot edge on the sleeve, hem and neckline.
Next up- a yellow vest!
