    About

    Liked the look of this pattern, but cotton top was out of stock but found an equivalent yarn with same tension, or though more expensive, but I bought on a 20% off day so wasn’t too bad. Worked out yardage equivalent so bought 12 balls, but it only took 10. Yarn is lovely and light, very comfortable to wear and good to knit with.

    Needles & Hooks

    • Single Point 4.00mm (US 6) 30cm
    • Circular 3.25mm (US 3) 80cm
    • Single Point 3.25mm (US 3) 30cm

    Measurements

    81-86cm

    Notes: Made smaller size than usual, but has come up plenty big enough.

      The cardigan looks lovely but I especially love your little doggy - he’s so cute. I’m going to make this cardi next so I will have a look at the yarn you used as the one suggested is still out of stock.

        I’ve worn this cardigan a lot since I made it, and just washed it for the 1st time yesterday. It’s kept it’s shape and that’s always a good test. Nice easy cardi to wear I will make it again.

        @Carole R: I’m hoping it grows more quickly than the Aran I’ve just done.
        I’m doing mine in Stylecraft life In Rose. Taking forever to rib 30 rows at the moment as I keep being disturbed!
