This is the only thing I've ever knitted for a child, finished a week ago, thus perfectly punctual for our current theme. The theme announcement might have had something with to do with the timing, or perhaps it was the approaching winter. Anyway, it is not fancy (or particularly beautiful, let's be honest) but the ribbed collar suits the toddlers curls very nicely. It is based on Kim Cowl by Muki Crafts. I started with a provisional cast-on on the neck and finished with a crocheted ruffly edge for maximum stretch and it worked very well.

Lessons learned:

  1. I dislike crocheting edges.
  2. Think twice before taking a toddler to the yarn shop. Who could have known?

I bet they look beautiful in it!

And next time, take a kitten instead. Just for the shenanigans!

Yes, that would be even more fun!
