Notes

NOTES: I made the sleeves and the color changes for size XS (7 inches of each color), and the length measurement I left for size S since I like my cardigans a little on the long side.
The pink panel on the bottom ended up being about 7.75” instead of 7”. I ended up having 7 buttons.
Everything else was the same on the pattern!

If/when I make this pattern again, I might start the buttonholes a little higher up. They feel a little low compared to where I wish they would be.

I also could have gotten by with only 2 skeins of the white, though it was a good idea to have all 3 skeins of the pink.

This was my knitting project for my Europe trip. I cast on while on the 8-hour flight from Minneapolis to Amsterdam, and cast off two hours before landing in Minneapolis on my way from the Paris airport. Truly is my Europe knit!
