Notes

My measurements
Bust: 83 cm / 32.5 in
Height: 165 cm / 5 ft 5 in
Weight: 51 kg / 112 lbs

Sleeves

  • 24 rounds before starting decreases
  • Worked the sleeves w/ decreases every 12 rounds until I had 46 Sts. Worked a final decrease on the 12 round before starting the cuff ribbing (45 Sts)
  • 17 rounds of ribbing for the cuffs

This was my first time working a dropped shoulder, and I really enjoyed both the knitting process and the final result. Definitely my new favorite technique and cardigan!

This project was also much more economical yarn-wise than other raglans I’ve knit. I used the same yarn in a different colorway for my Champagne Cardigan and used nearly 2 skeins less for this one.
