ReplyDeleteOkay, how exactly did you do that? It looks like you repeated the middle row (the one with leprechaun and daffodil) - so it appears at the top of the front and then at the top of the back. But then what did you use to do the bind off? Did you do that with the right sides together and binding off on the wrong side?
ReplyDeleteIt does look lovely. I always like to make the pattern go over the top of the shoulder but I usually make sure it's on a solid colour row. Who knew this could work so nicely!
