The little cardie
So what happened to the little cardie I wrote about earlier? My godson got it for his birthday in september! :)

Just when I had started it I got the idea to make a throw for a wedding present, so it had to go into hibernation for a bit. When I got back to it, there was something wrong about it, don't remember what now, but I ripped it up and started over. After that it was a really fast knit. The pattern is from Garnstudio - found here - and I used yarn from Garnstudio as well, the Drops Karisma superwash.
I made some changes compared to pattern.
Front: reversed one of the side cables to mirror the one on the other side.
Back: I changed a bit more than just reversing one of the cables for symmetry. I put the middle back cables just next to each other, and put the extra stitches from that into the garter area, as one twisted knit stitch on each side.![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_vOACFixS4h1RR0SsAWBHOOTIPgk1BGqFF1jjsOZm5-CfCkUXS5XRF9suC2VmEmbrSIib-tmqxeDgIrup9Qf7Glb4uVXQ0KjI7yCRScVLzp0AH6uFvzQ-S_Xfar4yHifqTD7i34cYX5xWgSt96kLkiwkA=s0-d)
I also let the cables continue up over the hood in this manner:
I kept the 5-knit edge, then i put in the 3-cable pattern from the body, and made the rest seed stitch, as it turned out I really liked the seed stitching more than I had expected.
so, pattern went, k5, p2, M1(pattern), p2, seed stitching, p2, M2 (pattern), p2, k5.![](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/blogger_img_proxy/AEn0k_tjfIjGWKRGmrhIA5VZ5QpuMytpKYGWcVLXb6MuLFMYAQucveM09Aqw-V3cKODD5hlyTkxN3OlAk6S_ExbqkZTKRPC2wK3RtGPCM3jGFVU1NVMBZ_sV0XV7qiFKYsovnt9wcwCAl03Fg8o6rEPqZx0X=s0-d)
It was a fun knit, but as it turns out I still need to learn a bit more about gauge, and to swatch, as my little godson will probably have to grow a bit until it will fit him. :)
