Notes

For this cardigan I used one skein of de rerum natura, which is incredibly soft and wooly, paired with cascade 220.

After soaking, the yarn filled up wonderfully. The fabric is soft, dense and light.

Pattern is a basic easy and straight forward cardigan. I could have liked some more finishing on the buttonband/cuff and the buttonholes, but did not care to find it myself.

Mods:

  • Tubular cast on.
  • Russian BO on buttonband, standard chain BO in pattern for hem and cuffs.
  • I did 4+2 stripes.
