Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
The Perfect Fit Seamless Crazy Lace Cardigan »

Instructions

Everytime something went wrong, was because I didn't listen to Myras instructions, Working methodically, following the lessons step by step and everything went smoothly. Putting my work on waste yarn to test size saved me from froggíng - and gauge and measurements are essential for a nice result.
Great fun and I 'm making another one of those boleros before I advance to the Ingerlise

Thanks - This bolero cardi is a versatile item in my wardrobe, livens up the old shirt and jeans, or over a sleeveless summerdress or under my wintercoat, where a long sleeved sweater is to bulky. I'll surely knit a few more of these!

Love it! Stylish, modern although a touch of tradition as well. I like the shorter length as often sweater hide my figure because I tend to have a shorter waist. Great job.

This i a difficult question to answer. Could it be sport? 140 meters per 50 gram, 3.5 mm needles, being a loose knitter.

Thanks! The elite knitters (mind you, they are ELITE, knitting Vogue stuff) at work didn't know dorset buttons existed. The mere mortal here had to give them a link.
