FINAL THOUGHTS

  • Modifications:

    • Knit Small Size // 35.25”

    • Held yarn double to make pattern gauge

    • Lengthened the body

    • Collar: Twisted rib 2x2

    • Hem: Twisted rib 2x2

    • Wrists: Twisted rib 2x2

  • Make Again?

    • I’m not sure yet.

    • Some knitters have noted that the cardigan can slip from some shoulder shapes.

    • After wearing this cardigan several times, this cardigan does tend to slip off of my shoulders in a way that my other, commercial cardigans (unbuttoned) do not.
