Notes

Quickly made for my sister who is due any day now :)
This yarn is beautiful…. So soft and will be lovely for a baby.

I did modify the sleeve cuffs, collar and the bottom of this cardie. I must admit, making the hexagons was easy but figuring out how to fold them was a little challenging…. Thank goodness some other ravelers had posted step by step pics of how to fold in the sleeves or I might still be scratching my head LOL!

Cuffs~ once top of sleeve was sewn together, I did a row of sc decreasing every 3rd stitch then did another row of sc all around

Edging /collar ~ starting at left bottom corner of cardie opening, I worked sc up one side to the neckline then worked hdc around the collar, sc back down the other side of the opening at the front..
When I reached the bottom right corner, I then worked a row of dc along the gotten of the cardie, turned my work and worked a row of sc to the other bottom corner (only worked along the bottom edge, not up the opening or neckline),
Turned work again and did a row of hdc with picot stitch every 3rd hdc….

I hope this helps someone out- it is a lovely little cardigan and might make a big one for my daughter
