Notes

FROGGED January 2019 - nothing wrong with the sweater but my body has changed and it’s unwearably large on me now, so I’m recovering the nice yarn to use again :)


After washing my swatch I ended up with 16st/4”, but I like the fabric at this gauge, so I calculated which smaller size I’d need to follow the numbers for in order to get a me-sized cardigan.

Other modifications were making the lace rib pattern on the front band and sleeves a little narrower, and doing my own A-line shaping to weld together the smaller size top and larger size bottom.

Great pattern, love the yarn, I’ve worn this sweater regularly for months now and NO PILLING! I think it has grown a little - pretty sure I haven’t shrunk ;) - but very wearable as a cosy oversized piece.
