Notes

My new favorite cardigan!

Mods:

  • I made this a little longer than the pattern called for (more like 14 1/2” and then started the garter stitch at the bottom instead of 13”)
  • Whoops - shouldn’t have done that. This grew massively after I washed it. It’s very soft and wonderful, but I am now ripping out the button band and the bottom so that I can reduce it by 2”. It’s ok as is, but I think more wearable if I reduce the length.
  • Ripped everything out last night and managed to get about an inch done on the garter stitch bottom. Tonight: finish the bottom and pick up stitches for one of the button bands.
  • I refinished the cardigan 2 days after finishing it the first time. I’m so much happier with it! Have to make a note that that yarn groooooows.
