Ths looks really nice, but it knits up very, very small :(
cute idea but does not have enough pattern info,how many rows do I do when I am doing the icing or how long do i make it.It doesn't really explain very clearly
This is fab - and sooo easy! I have been looking for a knitting pattern like this for ages. Will knit one this weekend for my toddler! THANKS
