Piscucha Kit - Cardiff

This kit does not include the pattern. You'll also need a copy of Claudia Q's new book, Making Memories: Timeless Knits For Children.

 

Pischucha was inspired by my memories of crafting kites as a child. My friends and I would cut up large pieces of carboard and glue beautiful bits of paper and other materials we found to them. This tee reminds me of the windy season in El Salvador and fall months in Toronto. This tee can be worn on its own or with a long-sleeved shirt underneath making it perfect for any weather
