This is a first for Bluegingerdoll because.. wait for it... Bonnie is designed for knit fabric!
''Designed for comfort and elegance Bonnie is a vintage inspired
sweater that works in every season and for any occasion. Made with knit
fabric Bonnie is a quick and easy make and can be created in a matter of
hours. Three variations to choose from, as well as the ability to mix and
match the bodices and sleeve options to suit your individual style, you
can easily sew up a whole bunch for your wardrobe. Bonnie is the knit sweater pattern that is versatile, layerable and most important of all comfortable glamor. All three variations
feature subtle, feminine gathers at the top of each sleeve reminiscent
of a bygone era. ''
