Notes

A lovely lace pattern, charted only, for a light weight cardigan.

It tends to run large, as there’s an intended ease of 2-4” for this pattern - which I thought was a mistake, but after exchanging a few emails with Brooklyn Tweed (wonderful costumer support btw!) it was confirmed to be correct. Still, I liked how the cardigan fit on the model with a negative ease (a size 6 on a child who wears size 8) and as size 10 was huge, I ripped it and made size 8 for my 9 year old girl, which is just right.

The sleeve decreases in pattern don’t look as neat as I’d like.

The yarn was a bit of a surprise. It’s quite scratchy despite its name “supersoft” - it has no softness in it, and I find the name a little misleading.
