Laura Chau Sweet Bunting PDF

What could be sweeter than a baby cardigan with its own colourwork bunting? Laura Chau's Sweet Bunting is worked seamlessly from the bottom up with a stranded colourwork yoke and fun ties that extend into the bunting string. The yarn is a super soft cotton, wool, linen and soy blend that comes in great colours, and the flags are a perfect place to use up a little bit of variegated or handspun yarn. Simple seed stitch at the edges are a classic touch.
