A stripey cardi

This one has taken far longer than usual to finish, largely because I've been doing a fair bit of running around as my daughter and granddaughter were over from the USA for a short visit.  Most of the time was spent with my son sorting through the contents of their late father's flat, getting it to the point where it can go on the market.  Now everyone is back home and I had time to finish this little cardi for my grandson.

Pattern is basically 1312 from the Sirdar Tiny Snuggly Textures booklet 412 but instead of working the textured pattern I kept to stocking stitch and included the cream stripes and did the bands in moss stitch. Yarn is an acrylic of some sort but it came from the Oxfam shop on a day trip to Windsor and had lost its ball band so is something of a mystery. Definitely dk but quite bulky.
