Notes

Joined in the round at the neck shaping. I steeked and cut the garment to make a cardigan in the end.

My gauge was a little too loose, so i threw it in the machine for a bit of light felting, as I am knitting in pure wool.

I tried shaping the waist a little, by decreasing after the arms and then increasing again. I wondered it if would even be noticeable in the finished cardigan, and it definitely was. I should have made fewer increases, because the bottom of the cardi looks a bit too wide.

I knit all edges in seed stitch.

Final weight; 295
