Lace pattern gets a little lost with such big needles but the fabric is very light. Still happy with it. Excited to see what blocking does.

Wet-blocked body before starting on sleeves to gauge finished length and the body grew 4” from 34” to 38” in the back(not including collar band).

Under arms = 60” (ginormous armholes)

Very light and lacy. Soft. Also- I did not follow the pattern as far as needles/yarn so am unhappy with the result. My doing entirely. It’s pretty much a snuggy so I might suggest following the pattern for needles/yarn if you want it to look like the photos.

I made the XL and wish I’d made the L or even the M since my needles were so much bigger.

Used 7 skeins plus a couple yards for the body.

Finished one arm and am suddenly loving this cardigan again! Adding a sleeve changed the drape and fit. It’s a duster more than a cardigan but not the bathrobe I thought it would be.. Glad I didn’t throw it in a basket to forget about for years.

Finished a couple months ago and it’s a wonderfully well-written pattern with beautiful details. However- maybe don’t try to upsize the needles to create something more flowy. I will 100% make this again using the actual needle sizes called for because larger needles created a piece that’s Lagenlook on steroids.

It’s been balled up on a shelf (thus, the wrinkled fabric in the photo), waiting for me to see if it can be shrunk down a bit for my daughter but I haven’t attempted that yet.

Or I might keep it and make her a new one that fits. Not sure yet.
