ReplyDeleteI want one!
by small/medium what do you mean? what's your bust? 32? 34? 36? Please let me know and then I can fiddle with the math from there. :)
Another cute pattern. I'm a very experienced knitter, so your instructions are fine for me. I think my nieces would love this, great on its own, but also as a layering piece.
