Notes

Lovely, lovely cardigan, great test knit. Thank you so much for having me, Jutta! I also want to thank my fellow test knitters for being so sweet, talented and supportive. I enjoyed every minute of it!

I knitted the all-in-one version with waist shaping.

Mods

  • A bit shorter. Longer cardigans do not look so good on my impish physique. Started bottom band at 27 cm from underarm.
  • Different rate of sssk’s to attach bottom band (3x ssk, 1x sssk) due to different gauge. Had to frog the first one, because of the tightness. Muffin-top inducing cardi’s are not my thing, really. Watch your row gauge people!

The pattern is very clever and super clear. And the yarn, well, I have no words here…
