All done. To say that I love it would be an understatement. I’m only sad that it’s 85 F and June rather than 48 F and October. I cannot wait to be oh-so-cozy in this sweet sweater.
This is Madewell by Joji Locatelli. This is my fourth make nine finish! The pattern is a dream. This was my first adult cardigan, and first raglan style sweater. Joji makes it easy. The yarn is The Wool Barn Cashmere Sock in the Smitten colorway. It is the softest, plumpest, and prettiest. The color is just purely perfect.
The knitty gritty is as follows. I knit this sweater on a 3.25 mm (US 3) at about 6 stitches/inch, while the recommended gauge is 5.75 stitches/inch. All of my details, yarn usage, mods, everything is on my project page. I knit the large since my gauge was bit off. I think I should have knit the medium. I also should have paid better attention to row gauge. The length of the body and the arms blocked out much longer than expected. I pretty much have to cuff the sleeves.
All of that said, I do love it. It is incredibly cozy and snuggly.
Happy {sweater} knitting!
It looks great and you look very happy with it, in spite of the current heat!

It looks fantastic on you! I’m impressed with those cuffs. By the time I get to the sleeve cuffs, I’m usually pretty much over knitting the sweater and I tend to quit knitting too soon. Thus, my sleeves are frequently too short. 😦

I have loved the Madewell cardigan from the first moment I saw it and now after seeing yours…I really need one. Quite possibly in the exact color as yours is. I am totally smitten with your beautiful knit!
