I love this! I am going to get the yarn and start it soon. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this pattern – your work is amazing!! Hope mine will look as good on me 🙂
Thanks for sharing! This looks so comfy!
Love how this turned out Maria! So easy and cozy.
What yarn did you all use to make the cardigan ?
Since that yarn is discontinued, is there another yarn you would recommend in its place?
Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see where you mentioned another yarn that could be used instead of the L&T Poppy.
Just curious….if you were going to make another of these, what yarn would you use?
Hi carol! Some of my pattern testers used lion brand jeans yarn and Caron simply soft for this project and it came out great!!
Love this and cannot wait to start it. You have S/M~1500 yrds, L/Xl~ 2100 yrds but how many yards for the 2XL/3XL?
Thanks much,
Bobbi

Row 3: Ch 4 (counts as st), hdc, *tr, hdc, repeat from * across, turn (95, 95, 101)
It's not possible to end with a hdc in this row. The hdc are the even numbers and the trc are the odd number of stitches and to end with 95 stitches you end with a trc in the beginning chain of the last row.
just gorgeous, i need to try this., Would Caron yarn be okay to use on this project”,?
I think it would be okay as long as you check your gauge to ensure you are getting the correct size 🙂
