Notes

Making my daughter another one of these cardigans, she outgrew her previous one and since it was one of her favorites to wear, I’m knitting her a new one.

15.10.2023

This is becoming a very heavy cardigan, it will surely be very warm. So far it is not turning out as neat as my first one, I hope blocking will fix this.

17.10.2023

Finished the knitting part (still need to graft the underarm seams, sew on a button and block it), I let my daughter try it on and it fits her perfectly. I was in doubt about it being too heavy to wear, but it’s a great fit and it will be a warm extra layer for winter.

Now on to grafting those seams.

17.11.2023

She wore it once and she doesn’t want to wear it anymore because it’s too heavy… And I cannot disagree with her, this is a very, very bulky piece of clothing.

So this one might be frogged disappointed

Because too heavy. I would only knit the tiny sizes in the future, if I was to make this again. Probably not.
