I knit up this cute little shrug from start to finish in only 3 days of leisurely knitting (with many interruptions!) The pattern is well written and very easy to follow, I really enjoyed the top-down style. For me the biggest challenge was picking up the stitches evenly for the ribbing edge but I think it turned out pretty well.

I used a random cotton yarn I yoinked from the ferns stash, luckily the gauge turned out to be perfect so I went ahead and made the 6 month size. It’s still a bit big on Princess Hazelina across the back but she agreed to model it anyway:
