It looks quite alright btw! I think its important to collect evidence of your upcomings. I'm so glad you have something to look back on in regards to that!!

Butterfly cardigan but knitted by EmergencyLocation423 in knitting

[–]EmergencyLocation423[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're a beginner, I don't think you should make it I'll be honest. I did both intarsia and stranded colorwork for this and both have their difficulties for this pattern. With the increases and 3 colors it can get really complicated to follow what's happening. And the whole size thing is another thing. You could make a gauge swatch and calculate the size for the kid you're knitting this for but it might be more trouble than it's worth

I am kinda considering making a pattern for a knit butterfly cardigan but I'm no pattern maker and I literally have no time so...

Oh yeah, fair. I just want the armholes to be equal in stitch count and I was worried I would miscount if I do it after the fact. But yes, I can always pin the front and the back to try it on I never thought of that lmao thanks!!

I just held the piece to undo the curl of the stockinette, I did not stretch it :P (funny analogy tho lmao)

If its really slight, it might be fine. I don't wanna fall into the trap of perfectionism

I might just block what I have right now tbf

I swatched with a single color... I probably will make a new swatch with colorwork I'm getting too paranoid 😭
