more yarn needed

the yarn kit, did not have enough of color D to finish sweater and to sew it up. ordered more of other colors to make a hat, which made me pay postage again, had to finish the sleeve with another color from sweater. Liked the yarn, wish the pattern would have instructions on how to sew it together, but states, method of my choice, would have been helpful, with sewing on pockets, hard to do with such heavy yarn. not finished sewing it, so cant send photo.

Beware sizing

Model shows a very oversized sweater. Model must be xs in 2xl! I knitted my usual size M, corresponding to the size chart. Was concerned as I knit that sweater seemed smaller than expected. When I got to the sleeve, I could barely get my arm in. Had to rip entire sweater out. I hope enough yarn to knit a larger size. Suspect it will not be oversized. Needless to say I am very frustrated. I did not have problems with the pattern up to where I stopped. Hue and Me yarn is nice to knit, no splitting, knots, colors are beautiful. Disappointed Lion Brand didn’t vet the pattern before offering as a kit.

Hi Camille - we're sorry you're cardigan didn't come out quite as expected! This cardigan is designed to fit with about 9' of positive ease, though the exact amount will vary depending on where in the size range you fall. Were you able to match the blocked gauge given in the pattern?

Not an easy pattern

After figuring out this pattern's unusual shaping, I've completed the front, back & collar. Schematics would have helped. Using bulky yarn, it works up quickly. I found it better to work the collar before the sleeves because this sweater is already very heavy on my lap. One skein of color D included with kit was insufficient, but I was able to substitute other colors for front panel.
