Pattern Description:
Unlined knit cardigan has shawl collar and long sleeve cuffs.

Pattern Sizing:
This is a Schnittvision pattern. You enter your measurements and the software spits out a mass pattern...

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
Yes.
Front - pattern
Front - me
Closed front - pattern

Closed front, more visible fit - me
Back - pattern

Were the instructions easy to follow?
The instructions are rather minimal, which is not a huge problem on this particular, unlined pattern.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I like the versatile style of it.

Fabric Used:
60% wool-40% polyester knit

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I modified the position of the upper button because the collar felt too restrictive when closed all the way up the way the designer intended. I also added a third button, more to hide the button loop then to secure the lapel when worn open.

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes and yes.

Conclusion:
A keeper.
