Notes

This was the first cardigan I ever knit. The pattern is an updated version of a WWII sweater. (The book this came from, Patons Forever Favorites, has a lot of really cool patterns.)

What I learned:

How to make a button hole
How to make a pocket

For a yarn that is mostly acrylic, it’s held up pretty well.
