When there's just one or two balls of wool left over, plus a few scraps, it can be an interesting project to create something useful from them.
This warm little cardigan / jacket is sized for a baby girl from 1 to 2 years. It took quite awhile to make..... the embroidered sprouting daisies are across the back and fronts. Freehand embroidery such as this, requires patience and an eye for calculating measurements. Definitely a one off garment - for some time, anyway. :)
O, how nice. So sweet, and beautiful colours.
