Notes

The yarn is amazing, but unfortunately I didn’t have enough to make a cardigan. I bought a ball of it in the same colorway from this raveler but it was a little bit different. So I had to use it while making the body and I alternated threads from two different balls. I think that you still can see tiny stripes if you look closely but I don’t mind.
I forgot to make eyelets on sleeves (sorry!) and my row gauge was different so I had to make some adjustments (only 5 buttonholes, for example), but otherwise I followed the pattern. Used cable cast on.
Keep in mind that all selvedge stitches are knit all the time (I figured this out at the end of the work).
Love this cardigan. The fit is perfect. Highly recommend the pattern and the yarn.
