The 'macon' cardigan

When he was very little, my son could not pronounce ‘bacon’ properly so it’s always been ‘macon’ in our house. His cousins cardigan is made of cotton odds and ends. I suppose together the colours do look a bit like delicious crispy bacon, but it’s a perfect top for a little girl. The sleeves are cropped and the body has a nice, swingy shape. Stocking stitch stripes make the most of any leftover yarn you have.
