Color Me Lovely Sweater

Now Playing: A sweater for Casey
I have knit a sweater for my sweet Granddaughter Casey. It is the Color Me Lovely Sweater. I used Yarn Bee Highland Thistle Yarn, in the color loch ness. It took about 10 ounces of yarn to make this sweater. I did not use the recommended yarn for this sweater so I had a problem with the bottom curling up. So I did a single crochet edge around the whole sweater. Then I put a shell edging at the bottom of the sweater, and the problem was solved. After looking at the pattern closer I realized that the sleeves would curl also. I did 1 inch of garter stitch at the beginning of the sleeves to prevent curling and it worked. The colors in this sweater give me Spring Fever. I am sure Casey will just love the sweater. Now I just hope that it fits her. The pattern for this sweater can be found at
