This is a first for me, unravelling a newly knitted cardigan! Thanks to everyone who commented on my previous post about the cardigan. There is a backstory to the decision to undo it. Early in 2023 I knitted myself a cardigan to wear as my every day, at home, winter warmer. You can see it here. It became very shapeless, falling off my shoulders all the time. I blame my self because I didn't get the hang of the yoke pattern and fudged it. But I really don't want to spend another winter tugging at a cardigan that doesn't hang properly and keeps falling off my shoulders.
Before I undid the mauve cardigan I found another pattern that worked to the right gauge. It's also a Drops Design pattern, Rows of Lavender, but it has set in sleeves rather than raglan. I'm hoping that means it will stay put. I've made a start:
Good luck with this one! Raglan sleeves don't sit well on me, so set in sleeves are my preference.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of the sleave of the first cardigan, but I really like the way the Drops Design looks! I hope it turns out to be a favorite sweater.
