  1. Sheila McConachie says

    Is this knit on straight needles, dpns or circular? What age is it aimed at?

  2. What weight yarn do I use?

  3. I’m looking for a premature baby pattern for this or I’m not sure how to down size it

    Kinds regards Tracey

    “( p1 the next loop then drop the second loop) to the last st p1” – I don’t understand what this is trying to say. On my needle I have a stitch then the yarn wrapped round twice, then another stitch etc.

  5. Ths looks really nice, but it knits up very, very small 🙁

  6. cute idea but does not have enough pattern info,how many rows do I do when I am doing the icing or how long do i make it.It doesn’t really explain very clearly

  7. This is fab – and sooo easy! I have been looking for a knitting pattern like this for ages. Will knit one this weekend for my toddler! THANKS
