    About

    I wanted a short sleeve cardigan to wear over dresses or pants.
    I decided to make the sleeves a little longer to the elbow.
    Instead of k1 f&b for increases I picked up the loop between stitches, preferring that finish.
    The pattern is one size, sml , I think I could have used a smaller needle for the top part to make it fit closer to neckline.
    I would make again but add some pattern possibly a cable down the front next to bands. A good easy project.

      Thank you for clarifying the finished size. I think I will use a larger needle to increase the size. Any suggestions?

        My measurements are B. 35 W. 29 1/2 H .38 with narrow shoulders, I ended up crocheting three rows around the neckline decreasing on second row 8 stitches evenly around , one each side at front, two at each shoulder and four across the back to bring it in a little... glad I did.
        Hope this helps you, maybe comparing my size will help decide on the size of needle you will use. Good luck, I have had many compliments on this cardigan.
