I have just finished these bell bottoms for a friends new baby boy.
I dyed this wool with food dye again and really love the result.
This was the first time I cast off at the waistband and I had to frog 4 times before I got the cast off stretchy enough. Nearly drove me insane.
I wanted to add a little embelishment and first attempted duplicate stitch but it looked terrible so I pulled it all out. I definately need more practise with that before I give it as a gift.
So instead I did this little octopus with chain stitch. Simple , but I think it looks o.k.
I also put his name on the back.
