This cardigan pattern has been in my queue since I bought it in 2015, so when I was deciding on a Christmas project, it seemed like a good time to make it happen.
Cast-on on Christmas Eve, it has grown so quickly that I haven’t had chance to tell you about it … and I have finished it already!
The pattern is Philodendron by Holli Yeoh, and the yarn is Drops Karisma (100% wool) in marbled light grey, colour 72.
It turned out a little on the large size, due to my choice of a substitute yarn, and the sleeves were rather long, so I took the scissors to them, removed two pattern repeats and re-knitted the cuffs.
Result! 😀
I’ve surprised myself by finishing it so quickly – I think this may be my fastest cardigan project ever!
So what shall I knit next?
How’s your knitting coming along this week? I’d love to hear about it!

Is that knitted sideways? It’s a very pretty motif, and such a useful sort of colour.

Ooh, your Christmas Eve cast-on!! You’ve finished superfast – brava!! And what a pretty pattern that is, and in a useful colour… there is definitely a need for a grey cardigan in my near future (and the yarn is already sitting here!) 🙂
