Ysolda Teague’s Wee Melia is a
cozy and practical jacket that’s also, in red, great fun for dressing
up as Little Red Riding Hood. Worked from the top of the hood down and
with borders, minimal finishing is required. The cabled honeycomb pattern
adds warmth and structure and is very easy to work efficiently without a
cable needle. The single button closure makes life easy when the wearer is
trying to wriggle away or is determined to dress herself. And yes,
the hood is almost as long as the body in the smaller sizes!
