Na Craga

I'm very pleased with how it turned out. I've been wearing it a LOT and the yarn is holding up amazingly. This is by far the warmest cardigan I own.


The yarn is HF Blue Faced DK and pattern is Na Craga by Alice Starmore, but modified heavily. I made the whole thing in the round, with a steek for the front and saddle shoulder shaping (Elizabeth Zimermann's books). I've made the smallest size and it still looks a bit big. But very cozy.

I'm pleased, can you tell?
