Knitting size 1 (30”) for zero ease. Pattern recommends 0-4” of positive ease. I prefer zero ease since I have small shoulders and cardigans tend to slip off of them if I have positive ease. I have a full bust of 30”, waist is 25”, and I’m 5’6” tall. This fit on this cardigan is just perfect- and no shoulder slipping!

I’ve never steeked a garment before so this was quite the adventure. But Wool and Pine has such fabulous video tutorials and resources and with their support, I knew I could do it. I did a crochet reinforcing and a running stitch/back stitch combo used in the tutorials provided. I did not find that I needed to whipstitch.

Going for a brown, orange, yellow, teal palette. Ideal strategy in this type of project is to pick the color palette and let the colors flow organically.

MC = Miss Babs Caroline- Dark Pegasus - all 100g were used and I was short 4g to finish a sleeve. I substituted the Lycan color I used in the colorwork as they are almost identical in color.
