Notes

I decided to make myself a Luanne Cardi! It’s an airy, oversized cardi with a boxy shape and a pretty shell trim along the hem.
The pattern is easy to read and follow along. 
Although I was disappointed to find there was no garment measurements provided, just that the garment was written in three sizes: XS/S (M/L, XL/2XL) no bust sizes are included either.

Having these measurements would have made it easier for me to determine how many extra rows I needed to add because my height on my gauge was off by an inch. I needed to add an extra 3 rows to the main body and both panels.

The final measurements for my xs/s size Luanne Cardi are.. 
(Laying flat) Length- 23.5”, Width- 26.5”, Arm Depth- 7”
I have a 34-35” bust, so this sits with approximately 18” of positive ease.

The instructions for row 4 in the shell edging has an error, and could also be written to be read easier.
Original Row 4 reads:
Sk 5, dc 1, 14 dc in ch sp, sk 2, dc2tog the next st and the st 3 sts before the next ch sp, 14 dc in ch sp. Repeat from to across. Sk 2, dc the next st tog with a tc in the final st. Ch 1, turn.

My Row 4 edit:
Sk 4, dc 1, 14 dc in ch sp, (sk 2, dc the next st tog with the 3rd st before the next ch sp, 14 dc in ch sp.) Repeat from ( to ) across. Sk 2, dc the next st tog with a tc in the final st. Ch 1, turn.
