Notes

…being the latest installment in my seemingly endless quest for The Perfect Rachel Cardigan. And this one? Totally nailed it.

Great pattern and a far quicker knit than my Rav counter suggests. (I ran out of yarn during the second sleeve and took my sweet time ordering another skein.) The FO easily - EASILY - falls within my Top Ten Knits of All Times.

Gauge:
22 sts / 30 rows

Mods:

  • After finishing my sleeve increases, knit four additional rows without decreases.
  • Added seven (versus one) stitches under each sleeve as a few knitters have said the fit was tight. As a result, placed my waist shaping markers 27-stitches from the first/last markers.
  • Did six decreases per sleeve, ended with seed stitch hem.
