Notes

pattern by Refined Knitwear

April 26, 2021

I reduce the last 13 rows of the body to 5 rows and knit a narrow 1 by 1 rib with twisted stitches to avoid a rolled edge. Overall, the jacket is rather loose and the front parts reach far above each other. If I knit the jacket again, I would reduce the increases at the front edge.

In my opinion, this pattern needs a bit of revision. For example, I would put the straps on the lower edge of the cardigan to avoid the side hole to pull through. I would also knit the edges differently so that I don’t have to crochet them at the end.

The cords are still missing, then the jacket is ready.
As already mentioned, the jacket is a bit wider than expected, but still fits quite well. The combination of mohair and titicaca is very nice and fluffy. It makes the jacket warm, but still light. The neckline is a bit too wide for me personally. To stay warm you have to wear something underneath.

I knitted the cords 110cm long. Done and happy with the cardigan!
