Beautiful sweater! It’s the biggest reason that the spring issue jumped off the rack and into my hot little hands After a couple false starts, I CO last night using a lovely purple shade of Alpaca with a Twist Fino – 70% alpaca, 30% silk. I hope the silk gives the finished product a bit of weight, as the alpaca keeps it squishy and floaty.

I’m sure I’ll be back and posting another comment when I (inevitably) come up with a question

I just bound off the ribbing for the neck. I’m wondering if I should have used a stretchy form of bind off instead of just normal knitted bind off. The back of the neck does not lay smoothly. Should it? I love the looks of this sweater, but for some reason I keep making stupid mistakes and having to frog, restart, frog,…… sigh.

Thanks so much! Without a schematic, it’s really tough to tell what size to make. IK should require schematics for all patterns it publishes.

What about the meaurements for the Large size? I met you at Knit Wit in Portland one day last summer.

Oh thanks so much for the schematic and overview! This cardigan is fated for me. I saw it in IK, decided I wanted to make it, checked the yarn requirement and realized that I’d had *exactly* that yarn in *exactly* the right amount sitting in my stash for ten years waiting for you to write this pattern ). Kismit. In fact, that’s what I’m calling my version of it over on Ravelry. I’m casting on today. Thanks for a charming pattern!

I am knitting your pattern also and I am really enjoying the design, but I also became confused about the sleeve size. After reading this it is clear that your intent is for the drapey/larger sleeve as written. It looks like the problem is that the sleeve circumference published in IK was incorrect because it is based on the wrong stitch count. Since the gauge is 6st per inch, if you have 76st after decrease the sleeve will be about 12.6″. It looks like the 10″ circumference estimate came from the fact that there are 60st left after the bind off. So it seems that the 60st count was used instead of the 76 st count to calculate that 10″ estimate.
