Notes

Thank you, Tatsiana, for another intriguing design!
Thank you for letting me be one of the testers!

My Fjell cardigan wasn’t completely finished after crocheting according to the pattern because I made it much longer and added a border all around it.

My Fjell Mosaic Cardigan 3XL:

Sleeve length: 38 cm including cuff
Body length : 63 cm from shoulder to bottom (according to the pattern), I’ll make it longer

Yarns:
Black hand-dyed (400 m / 100 g) 300 g
Black2 (350 m / 100 g) – up to length in the pattern, without border: 200 g - will be at least 400 g with border
Colored hand-dyed (420 m / 100 g) 300 g

Yarn amounts:
Short row part before yoke – 21 g A
Finished yoke (including short-row part): 153 g A, 100 g B
(3XL: 3 times 41-48 plus 41, 42)
(switched colors A and B after the upper yoke)
Upper body colorwork: 66 g A, 50 g B
Lower body to 31 cm: 187 g black2

Sleeve first colorwork: 19 g A, 11 g B
40 rounds A – 43 g
( 6th round and 6times every 5th round 2 decreases, plus 4 rounds,
Another decrease round before cuff, crocheting together every 5th and 6th stitch)
Cuff: 3 g A, 3 g B
(skipped rounds 11 and 12, made 3 rounds sc with A instead)

Totals (without switching colors, before elongation and border!):
A: 153 + 66 + 187 + 19 + 19 + 43 + 43 + 3 + 3 = 536 g = 2251 m
B: 100 + 50 + 11 + 11 + 3 + 3 = 178 g = 748 m


Added another 100+ g to the bottom, hdc between sts in rows = 294 g black2 on the bottom, length after sleeve division now 47 instead of 31 cm.

My border:
I’m going to make a border around the complete cardigan (bottom, front sides, neckline) mainly with black2, using the first part of the cuff mosaic pattern. on the upper colored part and neckline.
I won’t make buttonholes, I’ll close the cardigan with jersey snaps (made by Prym).

Started border at “underarm seam position” under right arm.

  • hdcs bottom - made sc betw sts, every 9th bottom stitch 2 sc (= increases because of the gauge difference between hdc and sc).
  • corner: 4 sc increased
  • front side: (4 x 1 sc into row, 1 x 2 sc into row) repeat until mosaic pattern starts
  • mosaic pattern: (4 x 1 sc per row, 1 x 1 sc for 2 rows) repeat until start of colored part before neckline
  • colored part before neckline corner: (4 x 1 sc, 1 x 2 sc) into row
  • corner to neckline: 4 sc incr
  • neckline: 1 sc per st, betw sts
  • other side of the cardigan: pick up sts mirrored, close round with sl st

WS row: sc in every sc, close round with slst

row 3: RS, bottom and most of the front sides work with black2 in sc, only around neckline and the small colored sides before neckline corner repeat cuff pattern row 1, work with 3 balls (black2, colored, black2),ch2 instead of ch1, close round with slst. Bottom corners: 4 sc incr, neckline corners (ch2, sc, ch2, sc) 2x in corner middle sts. Close rd with slst.

row 4: WS, mostly sc with black2, neckline: row 2 of the cuff pattern, ch2 instead of ch1. Close rd with slst.

row 5: RS, mostly sc with black2, bottom corners: make 4 incr.
neckline: black row, make complete row with ball 1 of black2, it’s row 3 of the cuff, but with ch2 instead of ch1. corner increases: 2 (mdc, ch2) into sc before the corner sc, 2 (mdc, ch2) into sc after the corner sc.

row 6: just a normal WS row, sc and around neckline as round 4 of the cuff pattern with ch2 instead of ch1.

row 7: mostly sc with black2, bottom corners 4 incr, neckline: row 5 cuff pattern, neckline corners: on both sides of the corner (mdc, ch1, mdc) in 1 space

row 8: nearly a normal WS row, sc and around neckline round 5 of the cuff pattern, ch1 over the ch1-sp at the neckline corners. Cut color B and 2nd ball of color A.

round 9: Mark beg of round. sc in every st. Bottom corners: 4 incr. Neckline corners: Make (mdc,sc,mec) in ch1-sps. Close round with slst. Fasten off.

Yarns used for the border:
1st ball black2 - 47 g = 165 m used
2nd ball black2 - 13 g = 46 m used
colored yarn - 8 g = 33 m used
