Notes

This pattern has no written instructions and all comments are in Finnish (I think) but the photographs are brilliantly clear so even this beginner can work out what’s going on.

I don’t know what yarn or hook was intended for this pattern but I used a 5mm hook, though my yarn suggests a 6mm. It’s a bit chunky but not a proper chunky yarn. The variegated colours will give a muted rainbow finish.

I got the yarn from the Red Cross charity shop - they seem to be selling new yarns now (only £2.49 for a 100g ball of this stuff). It is also now being sold as James C Brett Marble Chunky.

Oh and I made a mistake right near the beginning of the big square for the back, so I’ve had to fudge it further along. I could have re-made it but …

This cardigan is super warm - it’s like wearing a blanket. Perfect for Glastonbury and other festivals when the night draws in.
