I love this jacket! It turned out a bit loose and one size bigger than expected, but it´s fine. In general, I have changed the model according to my wishes:

  • knitted top-down instead of bottom up (makes a lot more sense to me, because I want to try on in between to check the length and fit)
  • reduced steek stitches from 9 to 6, the middle stitch is a purl stitch
  • added short rows at the neck
  • added a cable-lace pattern panel to the sleeves
  • added decreases to shape the waist
  • no pattern repetitions on the sleeves and on the lower part of the body
  • body shortened overall, because I don’t like long cardigans

I’m still missing the matching buttons (either simple, light wooden buttons or natural shell buttons).
