I just finished making this cardigan for my husband. I'm an intermediate (self-taught) knitter and this pattern, although somewhat complex for me, was easy to follow and turned out beautifully. I had never made pockets before but the instructions were clear and they came out very well. Buttonholes, raglan seams- it all looks very professional if I do say so myself. :) My husband is pleased with the sweater and I am extremely proud of myself for tackling the project. I'm a big fan of Lion Brand patterns and yarns. I've made several items with this yarn (Wool-ease Chunky) and it is a dream to work with. The patterns are accurate and well-written. I'm busy browsing the site for my next project!

This knitted up quickly and is a great way to use up a partial skein. The size and weight make it perfect for warm weather wear. I'm planning to make several more.
