Notes

This pattern was an enjoyable knit. I am looking forward to wearing it as a staple piece in my wardrobe. The pattern is well-written and easy to understand. I hope you love your What the Fluff Cardigan as much as I love mine. Happy knitting!

Modifications:
I knit full-length sleeves and bound off in pattern for all of bind offs. I held fingering weight double instead of fingering weight and lace weight. Used 678 g (2,420 yards) of fingering weight yarn.

Colorways:
MC: Slabtown and Newport held double
CC: Faun and Rockaway held double
