Notes

Body weighs exactly 100g.
Sleeves weigh 35g.
I can’t believe how light this is!

Finished measurements:
Across back, 21.5”
Length from top of shoulder to hem, 24”
Inside sleeve, 18.5”

Whilst knitting this, I had no idea how gauge would work out after blocking.
Because the ribbing is slip stitch, the gauge is smaller, both sts and rows, so the stockinette front sections looked quite baggy in comparison.

When I’d finished, I tried it on and the back hem seemed to flare, even though I’d used a 4.5mm needle for the bottom ribbing. So…I made sure that I blocked it to the shape I wanted, and made it narrower at the bottom to compensate (see pic).
All worked out perfectly, and the finished cardigan is gorgeous. Light, soft, and warm. And so cuddly!
