Notes

ETA: I added some photos to show how I normally wear this, since my modelled photos are sort of awful. The cardigan is holding up really well, although it has grown even more.

Knitting along with the Holla Knits KAL 2015! Love this sweater, it turned out absolutely perfect!

Mods:

  • Knit 12 pattern repeats after ribbed hem for total body length of 16” to sleeves. ETA: Grew to OMG MUCH LONGER - BELOW BUTT-LENGTH. Oh well.

  • To reduce dolman-y-ness of the sleeve underarm, I’m CO 28 stitches in 3 increments instead of 14 in 6. Knit additional rows to account for the reduced rows to maintain sleeve width. Then I followed pattern for sleeve decreases.

  • Picked up about 233 stitches (or there abouts) around the button/neck band at a rate of 1 out of 2 stitches.

Sleeves wound up full length using the size 48” directions - although I seem to have short arms, so the 18” length plus 1” ribbed cuff was more than long enough for me.
