Notes

29.11.2024

I am not making the lace panel but there will be a purl stich between buttonband and stockinette. And no waist decreases.

16.05.2025

I knitted the first cardigan for Isabel as a Christmas present in 2014. She likes it so much, especially the yarn, that she wants a new one as a birthday present. She has grown quite a bit, so this time it will be size M and colour pearl grey.

01.06.2025

In the sleeves before ribbing I cast off 14 sts, leaving 58 sts. I also knitted some shortrows to the back before ribbing.

09.06.2025

The cardigan weighs 245 g without buttons.

10.06.2025

Now I have started an ice blue cardigan for Victoria. It is no rush. Her birtday is in October. Isabel’s cardigan is still missing buttons.

09.08.2025

Victoria’s cardigan weighs 220 g with buttons.
