A Shroat For my Daughter

[caednkat]

I made this after seeing it made for adults on Uncommon Threads. I used a J hook instead of the P hook the pattern calls for. It worked up really fast. You can see picture on my blog.

Very cute.

How long did it take you to make? I'm wondering if I have time to make one or two before Christmas.

I saw it too and I agree, strange names. I actually hate the names. Sounds almost like something you catch.

I started it on a Friday night, what took the longest was the shrug part. Just because I kept having to measure it on my dd to try and get the arms long enough. I took a week to finish it, but in that week I was also knitting a few (4) scarves to sell, and working off and on on a wall hanging for my brother. I think if you worked only on it you could easily finish in a weekend. Because it's so open it works up really fast.

Thanks, I'm really proud of the hardwood floors, my dad and I put them in!

 

 

Thanks everyone else for the comments on the "shroat". DD loves it and wants more in different colors now.
