I was sooo hoping for something for a “boy” – this is quite obviously for a toddler. Ah well. I’ll keep searching. I have poncho patterns for girls but can’t seem to find one for a BOY. (He’s nearly 7).
The diagram for the cable pattern doesn’t seem to be complete. There’s also no explanation of the symbols used in the chart. Could you please send this? It’s such a cute pattern I would like to knit it.
