Notes

The moment I saw this cardigan on Libby’s instagram, I loved it!! I’m not normally one for white garments in my wardrobe (i think this will be the first!) but everything about Libby’s pattern is just beautiful, colour included, so I don’t want to change it one bit!

I’m using 1 strand of the Silkcloud mohair (laceweight) and 1 strand of the Meadow (light fingering) held together. My tension was tight and I’m using a smaller needle than recommended for a denser fabric, so I’m doing the large (3rd size) and hoping it will come out the right size.

Body completed! It fits too! Definitely need to knit those nubb stitches VERY, very loosely in order to purl them together on the next row.

Picked up 80 sts for sleeves (due to smaller gauge) Decreased to 60 sts for cuff/cast-off

I LOOOOOVE this pattern so much. I am so happy I stuck with white too, because it goes with everything!

Libby is such a great pattern writer - everything was so clear and easy to follow. Also, the super nifty construction of this cardigan just blows me away.

I going to wear this ALL winter. <3
