So this is one of the little sweaters I made in the past
month or so, the pattern is Puerperium Cardigan by Kelly Brooker. I love this pattern!! And did I mention it's FREE!
I changed the needle to size 7 and used a heavier weight
yarn, so it made it somewhat bigger than the pattern.
I am not going to lie, I cant decide if I like the yarn of
not… I was given it as hand-me-down yarn so I can’t complain too much about it.
It is a 50% wool and 50% cotton blend, but it’s stiff and just not very soft.
By accident I made some dishcloths out of scraps of it, at the time I thought
it was all cotton. What I have found is that although the washing instructions
are hand wash and lay flat to dry, the more I washed it in the machine the
softer it got. I also didn’t notice any shrinkage.
I love this little sweater and I love that the yarn and the
buttons were free. Free things are great!
