Notes

test knit of Nadia’s beautiful design

20sts/28 rows, 4mm

I love how it turned out. I had to discard some of my old (store bought) cardigans so this one was exactly what I needed. It will be worn a lot this coming spring.

Mods:

  • added length to body and sleeves
  • picked up six stitches under arms to avoid holes completely; it made my sleeves quite roomy;
  • buttonholes on right side

Buttons- recycled (thanks, C.!)

The cardigan feels very cosy.

Well written pattern, very straightforward and a pleasure to knit. Thank you Nadia!
