      I’ve just ordered this pattern and the same yarn as you! You’re looks stunning 😍 however, found myself here as I have also been wondering about the errors with the pattern and have been looking for guidance. Thank you for sharing those links below! I’ve had to rewrite the pattern abit now, using the brioche st instead, which someone had mentioned at the bottom of those comments! That really helped me get my head around the pattern. I did also wonder though, I noticed that you have not completely followed the pattern with your border and actually I much prefer your ribbed border so I wanted to check if you actually altered the pattern to continue the rib st around the work or if you knitted a separate rib border yourself and have sewn it on?

      Help! I’ve downloaded the pattern but do not understand the ‘knit to next stitch and loop across stitch’. What does that mean? Would really appreciate if you could explain.

        I'm pretty sure I used this discussion thread to help. I am sorry I can't remember what I did, but I am almost positive this helped me solve it.

      Lovely cardigan, great job! How many balls did you use? The pattern asks for 650 - 850 g which is 13 - 17 balls... Seems a lot! Thank you!

        I can't remember exactly how many now. I got the amount recommended by the pattern for my size (I'm about a size 12) and had 2- 3 left over, from memory.
