I finished my Featherweight Adriana worked in malabrigo lace yarn in Verde Adriana colourway following Hanna Fetig’s Featherweight Cardigan pattern.
I added a lacy ribbing pattern on the collar and sleeve hems, and found that had to be extra-creative while blocking:
This creative blocking added some extra frill to the collar, which at first I wasn’t sure I liked, but now that I tried wearing it, I think adds a lot to the pattern. In my opinion, the pattern is not so well written and the cardigan itself doesn’t sit too well on the shoulders, indicating that the raglan shaping is not exactly right. I love my cardigan in spite of that, mainly because the frilled collar makes it look planned. However, I don’t think I’ll buy any more patterns from this designer, as I consider this kind of design something too simplistic to pay for, and when I calculate the raglan shaping for my body it comes out much better anyway.
Project is raveled here.
