Notes

This is the second Lottie Cardigan I’ve made. It is such a beautiful, classic design! Loooove it! I’m going to make a 3rd one for this soon-to-arrive bebe’s 3 year old cousin.

Measurements after wet blocking:
Top of neck ribbing to the bottom cast off edge = 10.75”
Body width measured flat with buttons done up = 10” Cuff to cuff wingspan = 21-22”

My gauge is 18 and a smidge stitches over 4”.
I followed the instructions for the 3 month size, but as I’ve read in other project notes this pattern may run a bit large, which is not a bad thing when it comes to baby garments! My measurements after blocking seem to be closer to the 6-12 month size.
Cannot wait to gift this one! Really enjoy the deep blue of the colour, although i did have to rinse it a couple times and even added a splash of vinegar to try and get the blue to stop bleeding. I suppose that’s the nature of blue dye?
