Notes

Technically, I bastardized the sweater version, but I figured linking the cardigan would make more sense. Although I despise vertical garter stitch button bands (my version has attached icords and no buttonholes, although I’m considering hooks and eyelets), there’s some sharp-ish neck decreases, and I faffed around with the shaping quite a bit.

On an awesome note, I actually met someone who was wearing that cardigan! At a restaurant! It was super exciting! I guess it would’ve been more exciting for her had I been wearing the cardi, or if she’d knit it herself. OH WELL.
