    Beautiful Stitch! Probably Not a Good First Sweate

    This is a really beautiful pattern, I did end up picking some different colors for the 3 sections but it turned out beautifully! I've even taken the stitch and made some hats with it since. I will say, the pattern itself is a little vague in a few places. It didn't cause me too much of a headache. But I will say, if I didn't already know how to make a sweater I would have been very confused getting the shaping and piecing together right.

    Awful pattern

    There are mistakes in the instructions for the basic pattern repeated throughout the pattern. The directions are poorly written and difficult to understand. Lastly there are no instructions on how assemble the pieces once knitting is completed. I am a very experienced knitter and this is probably the worst pattern I have ever seen.

    • We appreciate that you took the time to share your experience with the Hooded Knit Cardigan Pattern. If you could let us know the specifics of the mistakes you have found throughout the pattern, we will do our best to address them. As to assembling the pieces once your knitting is complete, we did notice that there are no instructions for assembling the hood. We will pass that information on to the design team. As per pattern, you seam the shoulders (right sides facing up using mattress stitch). Then work the button bands. Then, aligning the center top of the sleeve with the shoulder seam, use a mattress stitch to join both sleeves to the front and back. At this point you can seam from sleeve cuff down to bottom hem of the body on both sides. This is again done with right sides up and using the mattress stitch. Once the rest of the sweater is assembled, you can begin joining the hood. For the hood, you may want to block the fabric before sewing so it will lay flatter. Fold the fabric in half, and seam the back side to itself to form the back of the hood. Next, sew the side seams to the neckline of the cardigan. We hope this helps you finish your cardigan. Thank you again for taking the time to leave this review.

    There are almost no directions on how to assemble this sweater. Is there a page missing in the instructions? Can you please provide help?
