Using the purple wool left over from Maya’s top and armed with the “Reader’s Digest Complete Guide to Needlecraft (1980) and a cardi Mum crocheted for me when I was a baby, I began crocheting without a pattern. I had intended to crochet it in one piece, but I started at the bottom edge and then it all got too hard when I reached the arms. So I started another piece from the neck edge and stitched the 2 pieces together. It was certainly a work of trial and error with lots of unraveling and lots of recrocheting!
As you can see I still have to tie in the loose ends and sew on the buttons, but I think it has turned out well. 
Just in time to keep poor dolly warm in this miserable Melbourne weather.Now I have to work out how to sew a dress to go under the cardi…
