Notes

Making the size small. But waist needs to be closer to medium so didn’t do all the side decreases. Very quick knit. Great pattern, easy to follow.
I didn’t quite get the right guage (pattern asks for 18st and 24 rows to 4”.) I got 17 st to 4” so my cardigan has come out at almost an inch wider across the back and chest than it should be - not too big of a deal, but I would probably go down a size if I was to make this again.
Overall I’m very happy with it. The open front makes it perfect to wear over dresses without being too covered up.

Used almost entire 400gr ball of yarn.
