Notes

7mm metal Chiagoos got gauge for st at 14, but my row gauge tighter at 24 vs 17, but that’s fine. Knitting size 1; 42in.

Did the crochet join for shoulders as written, but next time (will definitely be a next one) will do the join inside out because I am not fond of the featured look of it. But inside it is smooth.

Finished underarm to bottom length before washing 12in, after wash 13in.
Sleeves before 16.5/17, after wash 18 in.
I next one I will account for that growth in the yarn (have more of that yarn combo to do 2 more, one pink one black.) Also thinking I will make button band a few stitches wider, mostly due to my scoliosis making right shoulder lower than my left & cardigans tend to slip downward there. Wider band might help??

Didn’t do button holes. Don’t generally use & will use pretty pin if want to join in and area. Then I can make that area anywhere according to what looks best on me.

Happy with the yarns, especially as got them on sale! Will add amounts used soon. Must check that.

Final photos to come.
