Notes

Love the idea of a big, cosy cardigan/coat. Am going to make wider pockets and possibly streamline the body a bit more but let’s see how it goes. ( Edited: actually forgot to do this - would probably be better without the batwings but it’s still okay - this is very much a lounge-at-home sweater).

Well this is a big, cozy hug of a sweater. I like the deep pockets. I made them wider (30 stitches) I had used Highland Coo on the pocket edging but am going to rip out and use my main colour instead as it stood out a bit too much. Then it needs a good long soak, to even out all the bulky yarn. Will probably take days to dry and then I’ll live in it all winter.
