Notes

I just love the purple wool, so rich in colour.
This is a longer version than in the original pattern. I worked the body up to the armholes an extra 5 cm (35 cm in total rather than 30 cm).
For the button bands I picked up 110 sts instead of 94 and made 14 button holes instead of 12.
A great easy to wear cardigan.
