FO Square Neck Cardigan

I finished this cardigan recently. It is from Rowan Studio #11. Unfortunately the pattern has a lot of positive ease for a relaxed fit. Because I have a small bust it really is too big for me so I gave it to my sister. It's a shame I would really like to make it again with a smaller gauge as it is so classic and easy to wear. I think this yarn suits patterns that are for a 5-6ply yarn not a 8ply yarn as it is marketed to be. It's perfect for substitution for Rowan's RYC Bamboo Soft.

I needed:
12 balls of Bella Baby Layette in red
2 3/4mm and 3mm needles
5 shell buttons
Rowan Studio 11


Cost:
Yarn: 12x $3.19(on sale at Spotlight)
Buttons: 5x$0.40
=$40.30AU
