Notes

My gauge is a little loose (4.5 rather than 4) but this is a zero-ease cardigan, so I am using my size 7 needle anyway.

I added several rows to the bottom of this… it is definitely a very form fitting cardigan!

Love the crochet edge detail… very easy, and it really adds to this simple little sweater. The yarn is very soft, with interesting bits of texture. The only thing I noticed is that it started to bother my hands after working with if for about 3-4 days (and I’m not allergic to anything). It was giving me some red/irritated spots where it rubbed over my tension finger, and I haven’t had that with any other yarn…..

Edited 3/9/2012
This has become our favorite “go-to” sweater… the neutral color is perfect over anything, and it dresses up or down as the need arises. Very durable (minimal wear and tear - even with active 18 month old) and oh-so soft. Love it.
