Notes

I wanted a go-with-everything cardigan that would span seasons (especially for an upcoming trip to Santa Fe!) I think this will fit the bill for everything except outside in the Georgia summer!

as I’ve done before, I started with size 1, then worked increases for size 2, and back to size 1 for the body/sleeve cast on. also worked the sleeves flat and seamed. Size 4 for the body and 3 for the hems/bands. I waffled about my row gauge and added 2 rows after the increases/before the sleeve split. unnecessary. in fact, I think I might try knitting a size 1 next (with maybe a few extra rows before the sleeves?). I tend to wear this cardigan more with tees, tanks, and camisoles - I don’t need much room under the arms, or extra ease.

still - it’s a great pattern and I adore all the hems … my grafting technique has improved immensely since I made my first one!

finished bust ~35” (1.5” ease at full bust)
sleeves ~ 16”
body ~ 12”
