3 out of 5 starsGreat pattern however, I wish Cara explained the i-cord part in more detail for us new knitters. I sent her a message with no response.

About HandKnitbyCara
“I will continue to freak out my children by knitting in public. It's good for them.”
Thank you for visiting!
What started as a little venture several years ago has turned into an absolute joy. While I work full-time as a teacher, if given the chance I would gladly spend my days teaching knitting, talking about knitting, reading about knitting and, of course, actually knitting. Occasionally you will also find some hand-spun yarn listed in my shop -- that is, of course, when I can convince myself not to keep it in my own personal stash.
A little about my creations:
While most are created in the comfort of my home (usually while watching re-runs of Murder She Wrote -- I'm an 80 year old at heart!), I can also be found knitting in public (hockey arenas, waiting rooms, . . . ), much to the dismay of my children.
Before each listing is added to my shop, I painstakingly search for the right colours and combination of softness and durability. Each product is tested out prior to be listed as well to ensure that it fits.
I also run a second shop, There Was A Tree, here in Etsy, specializing in hand crafted buttons, many of which are used in my creations in this shop.

Hand Knit by Cara
Owner, Maker, Designer
Thank you for visiting Hand Knit by Cara. Everything in this shop is lovingly hand knit (and occasionally crocheted) by myself. This shop is a 1 person show -- everything from convos & creating to shipping is taken care of by me personally.
Shop policies
My goal is to provide you with wonderfully soft and beautifully crafted items for your children, whether it be the hat they wear home from the hospital or the photography prop that you use during photography sessions. All items listed are 100% handmade by me using the softest and most unique yarns I can find or create.
Accepted payment methods
Returns and exchanges
Payment
Payment is required for all purchases within 48 hours. If you are having difficulty with paypal, please let me know and I can assist you in navigating the system. Purchases not paid for after 48 hours will be cancelled.
Due to the nature of the personalized baby blankets and Little Gem sweaters, I require payment in advance of the work being started. There are no refunds for cancellations made on these once work has started..
Due to the instant download nature of my knitting patterns, I am unable to provide a refund on them. Purchased patterns can be download through a link on your receipt/purchase page.
Shipping
While it doesn't necessary happen every time, packages can be applied customs charges on entry into your specific country. Purchasers are responsible for these charges. All packages are marked as goods and includes the purchase price -- please do not ask me to modify these details.
All shipping fees listed are true shipping fees in that they reflect the actual shipping value and don't include shipping supplies. I refund any shipping difference of $1 or over via paypal, generally within 24 hours of shipment.
