Notes

Test for this lovely cardigan. :)

That´s really a perfect cardi, simple and cozy, and I´ll never ever be cold at the office again. :D

Pattern is well written and easy to follow, nothing fancy or complicated, and easy to adjust for your own preferences.

Maybe I´ll do another one someday, with stripes or so. :)

Mods:

to get a slightly tighter neckline:

  • CO 6 sts less than pattern says (two less for each sleeve and two less for the back).
  • Stopped neckline increases to continue with just the raglan one increase row earlier than pattern says.

raglan-mods according to my size:

  • Raglan increases till I had the stitch-count for the smallest size for sleeves and back, after that I repeated it once more and added two plain knitted rows to get a bit more length before separating body and sleeves.

body:

  • I made just 4 decrease and 6 increase rows

sleeves:

  • made 6 repeats of decreases instead of 5

ribbing:

  • twisted rib troughout
  • the hem is about 2 inches
  • cuffs 3 inches
  • buttomband about 1,5 inches

collar:

  • added a bit length as I wanted it to be a bit higher, it´s close to 3 inches now that it´s folded.

buttons:

  • just 8 buttons and quite big ones. I already had them and I think they match the colour very well. :)

  • made the buttonholes over 3 sts instead of 2, because of the size
