FO: Featherweight Cardigan

Featherweight Cardigan, feather and fan edging

Truly a lightweight garment

Details
Pattern: Featherweight Cardigan by Hannah Fettig
Yarn: 2.65 skeins of Malabrigo Baby Merino Lace (100% Merino, 400m/50g), Color Pearl Ten 69
Needles: 4 mm
Size: Something between M and L.
Modifications: 

• Knitted body much longer than specified in the pattern.
• For the collar I picked up 3 stitches for 4 rows. Don’t know how the ratio in the pattern could have been achieved. Worked out fine.
• Added a feather and fan pattern to cuffs, hem and collar for some decoration and to keep edges from rolling.

Comment: This is a lovely and very easy pattern. Since it’s knitted from the top-down you can incorporate modifications to your personal shape/taste/size as you go. Very cool. The Malabrigo lace yarn was a joy to work with and this won’t be the last garment I’ve knitted from it. With only 150 grams of yarn you end up with a very nice wearable garment. Which means this is actually a fairly inexpensive knit.
