Winter is Coming – 14” CPK baby

This set uses WW yarn that is much finer than usual. Both of my colours were Mill ends so I can’t give much info about them. I used a small amount of yarn and a 3.75mm hook for ribbing and 4.mm hook for the rest of the sweater.


Note: DNBO means Do not break off.

Add any trims if you wish. My continuing fixation on buttons and beads goes on unabated but I blame Dora for all of that.

I do not have a problem with people/groups using my patterns to make a little extra money by physically making them and selling the items they make.

However, I do not permit the selling of my patterns for money. I have once given permission for a booklet to be made of them for a charitable sale and I may do so again *if I am asked* and if it is for a church, charity or school type group. But first you have to ask.

Furthermore, If you choose to use my patterns as a money maker, I do not permit my images to be used for any advertizing of your work. You must make your own item and photograph that. These images are as much a part of my Web image as a designer as the patterns are and I reserve that use to myself alone.
