I thought the pattern for this cardigan was so pretty and girly. Unusually for me, I forked out for the correct wool too, Sirdar Snuggly Heirloom. Which was probably a mistake as I had not noticed it said hand wash. Rookie error, especially for a child’s garment.
Cardigan stretched out for shaping.
Front
Back. Showing the detail.
The pattern is knitted from the bottom to the arm holes in one piece, from the front left to the front right, all the way around the body. It seemed like a real slog, but then the rest came together quite quickly.
Front Buttons and collar. The collar was knitted a bit like turning the heal of a sock.
Quite a few firsts on this make, but it turned out beautifully.
All I know about this one is, that it was made from chunky wool. I tried very hard to get the colours to match on the sleeves and fronts as it was variegated wool. I had to wind on the balls to the correct colour and hope the repeat was the same.
