Notes

Cropped cardigan test knit for Johanna grin this might be quite a close run thing with yardage!

Mods: knitting the sleeves less narrow: I’ve picked up 64 sts at armhole, decreasing every 6 rows to 48 sts, and I’ve also knitted them to 14.25” before the cuff. Body: as long as I could get it with the remaining yarn, I think about the length of the largest sizes. I’m a bit taller than average, so the ‘crop’ is about right, I think! Still can’t quite believe I’ve got a cardigan out of 2 skeins of fingering… wink

Also, I cast off the body with a standard bind-off in pattern, rather than a stretchy bind-off, as this was a bit too stretchy for me.
