    About

    This has taken ages!
    It's a lovely pattern with an unusual construction. But the yarn is DIVINE. The NICEST SOFTEST yarn imaginable.

    Made a number of alterations to the pattern. Didn't bother with the collar, made it longer, and made the bust section wider so that the neckline is higher.

    This project was plagued with starts and stops. I had to re-do numerous bits as despite blocking, couldn't get the back cables, front bands, and the skirt part to sit properly. All this probably due to the softness of the yarn.

    Cardigan has been much admired. It's warm, cosy, and so soft to wear.

    Not exactly sure how much yarn used.. around 8??

    Measurements

    86-92cm

    Notes: Made the hips a bit wider, but adding one pattern.
    Made it a little longer. In hindsight, this could have been done better by having more rows between the decreases.
