FO For Addy

I finished Addy's sweater and hat today and she was kind enough to model them for me. The weather is finally turning cold - it was in the 80's the first day we were here - so Addy may get to wear this very soon.

The sweater is the Roselette Top by Sylvie Damey (Rav link - check out all the variations on this pattern);
the hat is Swirls Cap by Sophia Kessinger (Rav link). I added a few rows to lengthen the sweater, so Addy wouldn't out-grow it immediately, and adorned the top with an elephant button flower to match the hat. I made the hat slightly smaller, about 19" rather than the 22" in the pattern, so it would fit Addy's head. It's a little hard to tell but the yarn is a mix of oranges and bright pink. Addy especially loves the pink. Rachel said this is going to be Addy's Thanksgiving Day outfit . . . to go with her pink tutu. Can't wait to see that!
