Notes

Rainbow cardigan! Using up lots of scraps, some held double and triple to get roughly DK/worsted weights.

Raglan increases are kfb, k1, kfb

8 stitches increased in the body - either side of the side seam area (though I didn’t do an actual seam on this cardigan), about 3” and 6” below underarm divisions.

2x2 broken rib for cuffs and hem, bindoff was k2tog->back on left needle worked from the wrong side.

Garter stitch button band because you can’t beat it for perfect flatness.

I would have preferred a slightly lower V-neck, but that’s my bad for not checking it before I started - it’s fine, I just won’t button it all the way :)
