EACH SIZE USES DIFFERENT GAUGE YARN. See below.

Cardigan runs slim, schematic photo attached.

White cardigan is actual neckline you will achieve with pattern. Pink prototype with too large neckline done in ROMNEY RIDGE DK yarn.

The yoke in this cardigan is on the difficult side, requiring ktbl, bobbles, twisted sts, pulling loops through fabric.

This sweet little cardigan is totally feminine and perfect for your girly girl, big or little! It is constructed bottom up and seamless, with minimal finishing and the ¾ length sleeves and eyelet detail make it just the right sweater for springtime. Even though the yoke is very finicky, it’s lots of fun, and done quickly. The gauge is varied with size in order to maintain the same relative size of the flowers.
