Notes

This pattern look so interesting that I had to made it.

July 13th: I started to knit the first flower panel.
July 15th: I finished the first flower panel and started second. The Finnish translation of the pattern isn’t very clear. But in the flower panels it was quite easy to reason how the panel should be knitted.
July 19th: I finished second flower panel. I also get the original pattern from Tekstiiliteollisuus because there was so many mistakes in the Finnish translation. After that I was able start to knit the back.
July 22nd: I finished back.
July 23rd: I knitted the first upper front panel and started to knit second. English pattern is very clear. I blocked the flower panels and the back.
July 24th: I finished the second upper front panel. I blocked the upper front panels.
July 25th-26th: I sewed seams and start to knit borders. I decided to knit lower back border, left and right front borders all the same time in the round without seams.
July 27th: I knitted sleeve borders and sewed buttons on.

Modifications:
The lower back border, left and right front borders are knitted all the same in the round.

I like this cardigan and it looks even better than I waited. It took quite much yarn, 420 g. I hope that it will come so warm that I can use that.
