    About

    Having more or less got the hang of this pattern I thought I’d go completely mad and try a few embellishments. I’ve used this elephant chart before so gave it a go. I’ll be the first to admit that it works better in plain yarn but I loved this Cygnet yarn. It is super soft and lovely to work with. Anyway elephants are elusive creatures and often hard to spot.

      I love this jumper so much the elusiveness of the elephant even if that wasn’t your first plan was a master stroke. Plus yarn is super soft perfect for the expected great grandson win win 😍🥰❤️

      Well done - I think this is a great little jacket - the wool does work really well and brave of you to add the elephants - your great grandson will be the best dressed baby!!
