Notes

I have been wishing to knit this cardigan for a while. Finally started!

Such a lovely yarn to knit with.

Startet with an arm first, because I knit without taking gauge. It can result in rip out the stitches I have just made, but then it won’t be so much to rip out since it is an arm.

I usualy knit with thicker yarn with needle like 4 to 5 mm. So knitting this with 2,5 mm and 3 mm will go slower.

I am going to love the touch of the silky yarn!

Finished. I used thinner yarn than recommended and the result shows way too narrow cardigan than what I intended to make.
My seven year old girl is happy to wear it though.
Had to buy one more of black skein which I used just 1/4th of it for the finish.
