Testing the beautiful Flower Child Cardigan for Wool and Pine. Recommended 2-6” of positive ease. I’m knitting the size 32” for 2” of positive ease. For reference, my full bust is 30”, waist is 25”, and I’m 5’6” tall.

Couldn’t resist ordering the recommended yarn- Hailey Bailey Classic DK in Nectar- the prettiest shade between pink and brown- a bit of a dusty peach.

Modification: I don’t like using a crochet hook so I used Caitlin Hunter’s brilliant bobble method from her Fonda pattern: https://youtu.be/yYxKlx07UYk?si=iMCavMI9crEBPRwa

The original tester yardage estimates were off and I ran out of yarn. I needed to shorten my sleeves since I ran out of yarn. The final pattern has been corrected.

Got the perfect buttons at Button Hive- they look like little bobbles. I needed 14 buttons. I picked up 116 sts for the button bands.

I adore the details of this cardigan… the lace yoke, the picot neckline, and the knit trim on the neckline and button bands are all so elegant and pretty!
