I knitted body, sleeves and cuffs on needle 3,5mm.
When I came to the colourwork, I switched to needle 4mm.
If I should knit this cardigan one more time, I would knit cuffs on needle 3mm, then shift to needle 3,5 mm for body and sleeves, and do the colourwork on needle 4 mm.

Increase for sleeves: there is a glitch in the pattern.
The pattern says increase to 68 stitches.
My experience says increase to 67 stitches.
This is because it dont match the colourwork if you increase to 68 stitches.

I’ve ordered buttons, made of buffalo hornes.
I wanted neutral and rustic buttons for this cardigan.

I found this steeking video very helpful.

Anchored the stitches before steeking.
Started the buttonbands, using crochethook 2,5mm and singlecrocheted in every 2. stitches from the anchoring.
Did the cutting, and tried the cardigan on my body. It did fit me! Yessssss!
Will place the (buffalo horn)buttons strategicly tomorrow, and finish the buttonband with buttonholes.
