Notes

Testing this lovely design for Isabell Kraemer heart?
This cardigan is without a doubt the most pleasurable thing I have knit so far. The pattern manages to be extremely easy and comforting to knit without ever being boring. The little extras and details throughout the design keep it interesting.
And of course, being the Dexter fan that I am, my first had to be RED :-)
I say first because I am sure there will be many many more. :-)

GAUGE

  • 23,5 st x 30 rows unwashed/unblocked on 4mm
  • 22,5 st x 30 rows washed and blocked on 4 mm

MODS

  • CO for S because my yarn will probably grow considerably and I want to make sure the neckline will not become too wide. Did extra increases to reach stitchcount for M1.

  • CO 1 stitch extra when picking up sleeve stitches and decreased first round.

  • added the pattern strip to the bottom of the sleeves directly after decreasing was done.

  • picked up 106 st for the right button band and decreased one stitch in the first WS row.
