Notes

Photos taken before blocking.

Wash gently in cool water with mild soap. Tumble dry low until damp, block to shape.

I used the alterations provided on the knit bot website to lengthen the yoke and increase the arm circumference. I am knitting the size 40 cardigan, and I have to go back and redo the sleeves. I just completed my first sleeve (after alterations, the sleeve size is from the 48’’ cardi), and they are too tight! I am knitting to gauge, and my arm circ is about 10”. According to the pattern, the size 48 should have an arm circumference of 14”. But it’s not even close! I am going to change the spacing of the decreases on the arm.

Otherwise, the pattern seems to be going well. The cabling is easy to memorize, and this yarn is a dream :)
