I never would have thought of adding the purplish kidsilk haze too the mix but the color combo lends the piece so much depth. Beautiful work and construction!!

i can't believe you have only one comment on this beautiful sweater. thank you for posting the pattern and instructions.

i want to learn more about sweater construction and knitting a sweater like this would be a great way to learn. i am putting it on my list.

Oh my this is a gorgeous sweater! I've been looking for a sweater pattern just like this. I'm thinking that I could spin the yarn for this pattern. I have a light blue and deep coffee brown fiber. I LOVE comfy sweaters. Thus why I don't do so well in summer.

This is a stunning sweater, + an amazing interpretation of gees bend. I come to the site often to look at the patterned fabrics you carry and at the crisp clear photos of your yarn and am constantly trying to apply prints to knitting-usually in a straightforward texture/colour 2d way. How clever of you to use different weights to avoid the box nature of the stitch. ooooooo! i'm so inspired it tingles!

I'd like a little more information on how to attatch the snap tape.

Truely amazing! I love it! I would like to see it on you (or on somebody) to see the fit. Is it a loose or stretch style?

Beautiful cardigan - and a very clear instruction, thank you!

I am confused about this set of instructions in the body of the sweater:

Rows 3 and 4 are worked on the Wrong Side (WS) of the garment:
Row 3 (with Color 1): Slip 1, k1, (p1, k1) twice, k to last 6 stitches, then (k1, p1) two times, k1.
Row 4 (with Color 2): Slip 1, k1, (p1, k1) twice, k to last 6 stitches, then (k1, p1) two times, k1.

So working on the WS it is necessary to purl in order to maintain stockinette stitch - k (p?) to last 6 stitches and then (k1, p1) two times, k1 is only 5 stitches.

Please advise thanks - I have already completed the sleeves and look forward to finishing the sweater.

Its my first time knitting a cardigan and am confused by your instruction in preparation for the yoke: You ask to knit 31, place a holder on the previous 6 stitches, knit 68 and then again place previous 6 stitches on a holder, knit 31 .....

do i knit these 6 stitches or just skip them ?

sorry if this is a basic instruction, i cant seem to find the answer to my question anywhere online (and I have no friends who knit)

thanks for your help! - feel free to answer my question via email

Hi,
Thanks for this beautiful pattern - I have a small question regarding the yoke preparation as well (and sorry for any mistakes in my English, it's not my first language)...
If after the first 6 stitches I knit 34, the I put the previous 8 on a holder, that makes 6+26+8
then I knit 76, place 8 on a holder, that is 68+8
Then I knit 34 and (p1, k1) three times, that is 34 + 6
so the body would be divided asymmetrically: 32 stitches, then 8 on a holder, then 68 stitches, 8 on a holder, then 40 stitches to the end of the row.
Can this be correct? Or am I horribly misinterpreting instructions?
Then, in Joining the sleeves to the body, the instructions read: "Slip 1, p1 (k1, p1) twice, k 28" - but I think I only would have 26 left until reaching the holder?
Could you please tell me where I am going wrong?
Thanks you so much for your help, I really like this cardigan and would hate to ruin it by making some silly mistake.

A short P.S. to my previous entry:
It seems that in the instructions for the yoke preparation (size M to L) the number of stitches in total adds up to 156, whereas there should be only 152.

So if I calculate backwards from the "Join sleeves to body" instructions - could it be the "Yoke preparations" instructions should actually be:

Slip 1, p1 (k1, p1) twice, then k 36, place previous 8 stitches on a holder, k 76, place previous 8 stitches on a holder, k 28, then (p1, k1) three times?

Hi!
This is my first sweater, and I have a question about the measurements: where exactly do I measure for the "chest" ? I measured my bust initially, but it's 40.5". The measurements diagram seems to indicate that I should measure the top of the shoulders. Can you help me?

Thank you for this lovely pattern - I can't wait to begin!
