I am pleased to announce that my latest pattern has now been released on Ravelry.

Giraffe Cardigan

You can get it here.

This cardigan was designed in order to raise funds to help the continued running of Colchester Zoo during the COVID-19 temporary closure. The Colchester Zoo logo features the outline of a giraffe, and so the design includes a small giraffe silhouette on the front left-hand side of the cardigan. 100% of profits from the sale of this pattern will be donated directly to Colchester Zoo.

This is a top-down raglan shaped cardigan, and includes THREE sizes: medium preemies, large preemies, and newborn babies. For ease and speed the collar, hems, and button band are all knitted as you go.
