Some simple pointers:

  • First, read the whole text. On pag. 7 you will find the reference measurements for the various sizes. Choose yours, considering that the cardigan has a fairly soft fit. Isolate instructions in text, underlining them or highlighting them with a different color.
  • If you find that you do not know the techniques used, watch the video tutorials at pag. 8 now.
  • It is always important to make a small guage swatch with the yarn you have chosen. Check that, with the same number of stitches and rows, your guage matches ours. If not, try to increase or decrease the tension while working or, even, to change the needles size. In any case, being a handmade product, it is normal that small differences may be between our sample and your finished garment. Always give space and confidence to your creativity!
