Notes

Søs saw the yarn and fell in love yellow_heart so I promised to knit her this cardigan - coz I’m so nice winkwoman-shrugging

Knitted my first ever gauge swatch! I know, I know, I really should do that every time…. But hey, I did it this time! clapclapclap yay me!
Got gauge on 4.5 mm needles with 1 Højlandsuld + 1 mohair.

Knitting the ribbing with 2 threads of Højlandsuld, and the rest with 1 thread Højlandsuld + 1 thread mohair.

Body: 4.5 mm needles
Ribbing: 3.5 mm needles.

I’m knitting the body first, and then picking up sts along the front and knitting the button bands afterwards.
Picked up 107 sts along the fronts.

NOTE:
The nubs are easiest to make with a crochet hook!

Sleeves need to be approx 27 cm.
Knitting them first and then the body for as long as I have mohair for.

Italian CO on sleeves and body. Regular CO on buttonbands, as they should have some hold, and not be too stretchy.

Soft. As. Butter! yellow_heart
