Pattern calls for Shetland wool at 150 yards per ounce, 6 ounces of one color and 10 ounces of the second.

Cast on only 48 stitches for each of the sleeves, not 50.

The graph in the book has the extra inches for the cardigan already part of the graph. If anything, cut a few inches of flames off at the bottom and don’t go too much higher for the shoulder for the pullover.

The book is about to go out of print, only a few copies are left at Schoolhouse Press, in their “going out of print” bin.
