Notes

This sweater would not be as nice as it is if it wasn’t for my friend Katie (foxflat)--she set the sleeves in for me! Thank you, Katie!!!!

For the collar, I just used the instructions as a guide. I ended up picking up nearly all the collar stitches which makes for a nice, warm collar. Because of this I had to carry on until I got to the end of the collar so this required a bit of improvisation but so far looks good.

Only picked up 84 stitches for each front band.

Button is from the wonderfully talented Kate Hust over on Etsy.

Like others, I had trouble understanding the directions but only because they didn’t make sense at times. When I relied on my past sweater-knitting experience it all went well. If you’ve never knit a cardi before, I would not recommend starting with this one.
