Notes

Using Lincot in combination with thin Venne Alpaca (500m/ 50g). Gauge is almost correct.

Size 2 + 6 sts more (extra edge sts and also I prefer to have 4 sts in stockinette on both ends because I think this looks nicer).
80 rows + cast-on before dividing.

More rows (48 instead of 36) for more armhole depth.

Sleeves:
Started with 56 sts for sleeves and started increases in row 17, every 8 rows.

While knitting, this piece looks a bit like something the cat brought in. I am just hoping it will magically evolve from the ugly duckling to the proud swan I thought it would be …

The cardigan turned out exactly like I hoped it would. Sleeves are a bit long, but I think this will change with wearing.
