Notes

Had to do three rows of double crochet to try to combat the curl of the stocking stitch.

Very high-necked as was the fashion at the time. I did not manage to fit in 11 buttonholes, there are only ten and the last two are not evenly spaced. I did the 92 cm size to avoid ending up with something too small but probably could have done the smaller size. Needs blousing to allow ribbing to sit on my natural waistline.

Second prize for cardigan more than 7 ply, Newcastle Show 2014.
