Eyelet Yoke Cardigan Reviewed by Robin Davis on 2010-02-08
I love this pattern, yes there are a few little “I wonder why they did that’s” in it but over all a wonderful little cardigan for the one and only granddaughter I have she has one in almost every color and I have made the 6 mo. 1 and 2 year sizes so far, and in many different styles of yarn. I did like the Cotton-Ease the best. Altogether I have made this sweater 8 times. The only changes I made were to knit on circular needles starting with left front, sleeve, back, sleeve, and right front. Then when you start the yoke you can join the front to sleeve piece by knitting together the last st of the front and the first st of the sleeve creating the first decrease on row one of yoke. This helps close up the “holes” under the arms where the pieces join the yoke. on the smaller sizes where you only need to dec 3 st you can make a st somewhere where it won’t be too noticeable. As far as the buttonhole goes sometimes I use small bead like buttons and do not need to make a buttonhole. The other times I have had a little trouble with the yarn over from a purl to a knit two tog. but it all works out.
