gathered cuff cardi

I think I have my new summer "always take with" me sweater. It's light, soft and the perfect weight for those cool mornings, evenings and days.
A pretty straight forward stockinette sweater with just enough interest in the gathered cuff details. Which by the way is the only part of the pattern that I felt required some extra thought. There are increases inside of increases inside of short rows. A little tough at first for my mind to wrap around, but it finally clicked. I love when that happens.

Pattern: Gathered Cuff Cardi
Needles: US 7
Yarn: Classic Elite Premiere 7 hanks 523 favorite blue
Size: small, 35 1/2"
I do feel that this sweater grew a bit after blocking. The pattern calls for blocking pieces and then sewing them together. I always sew my sweaters together and then block them. That is how my mom taught me and that is what I will probably always do. Can't teach an old dog new tricks. (Although we are trying.)
Have a fabulous weekend!
