I had some Nepal yarn to use, and this cardigan fit the gauge. It’s a super easy pattern and quick 5mm knit, but it was a bit of a drag to finish: lots of stockinette stitching which is just only made more interesting by a little front lace edge, and a cute back ruffle. I found the lace edge disappointing as I was making it - there are so many lovely leafy stitch patterns, and this really isn’t one of them. However, once blocked, it improved on me.

Probably because I wasn’t enjoying the process very much, I made a huge mistake, and carried on the body increase to the sleeve split - which resulted in a front flap that wasn’t supposed to be there at all! I salvaged the cardigan by cutting the flap (with scissors!), and making a steek sandwich button band (following Kate Davies’ excellent tutorials).
