Neckdown V Neck Shaped Cardigan
I knit this cardigan in Berrocco's Ultra Alpaca (color #6287, 6 skeins)....a Christmas present from my parents.
It was a very quick knit. I think it only took about 2 weeks to knit this up.
I did increase the rows of seed stitch on the bottom of the sweater. It called for an inch but I did more like an inch and a half (also on the cuffs to match). The sleeves I tweeked a little too since my gauge must have been a little tighter. In the upper arm I didn't do the last decrease. So when I got to the bell sleeves I didn't do the last increase either.
The sweater isn't really crooked. I lean to the right (in more ways than one!). Plus it looks like it could have been adjusted on my shoulders better. Next time I'll hire a professional to take the picture.....Not!
It is very comfortable and *soft*. If you get a chance to touch some Ultra Alpaca you'll see what I mean by soft.
I've been wearing it *a lot*!!! I anticipate being able to wear it all summer...especially in air conditioning!

Beautiful!
I just lost a button on my (store-bought) cardigan and I cannot find it. Something like this would be a nice replacement. Alpaca is a favorite of mine too.
