Notes

Perfect change of season cardigan! I’m so in love with this thing. I won’t change anything about it.

  • My gauge: 22sts = 4” on 4mm needles. Ratio to recommended gauge is 1.7. So followed pattern for 54” bust (wide neckline) to get around 32” bust.

  • Followed buttonholes as per the green sample in pattern i.e. 3 buttonholes, 12 rows apart. I did 7 buttonholes but ended up only using 4. I used 14mm buttons.

  • 3/4 sleeves. Knit to 82 rounds in pattern then 3 rounds reverse stocking stitch (purl only) and bind off. Creates a curved rolled hem.

  • Reverse stocking stitch for the last 3 rows of body to get a rolled hem. Still has a nice curve after binding off.
