Smaller one

I tried to crochet this pattern. Great to do, but after a while I decided to quit. In this case the pattern is too open looped and too cold in my opinion to wear on a colorful dress with short sleeves like this one. So I started again and knitted a smaller bolero version, this time with needle 5 and this yarn.
What do you think? L likes it.

    A friend of mine has two daughters. I've promised to knit her two bolero's. I like knitting more than crocheting so I'll knit them. I love the colour on the bolero for L. It will match lots and lots of things.

    It's very stylish. Normally my girls like things as pink and girly as possible but I'd love them to wear something like this - I must try harder!

    Looks really nice. Did you know that your bolero inspired the bolero for the little princess I made?

    I love it! the crochet one is beautiful, too, but I agree about the warmth of knitted. I have only boys--I'm wondering what the (young) male equivalent of a bolero would be, if any.
