Notes:
This cardigan is worked flat in 2 separate pieces and then sewn together (2 panels are made the same)
In this tutorial I have demonstrated with size small

Yarn needed for size small = 2,600 yards of #0 lace weight. If you're using #1 fingering weight, cut the yardage in half plus a little extra (just to be safe)

Gauge blocked: 23 st X 10 rows = 4" In main stitch pattern, row 12 and 13 is a main stitch pattern repeat. To make a gauge swash, ch an even number and then crochet row 1-23

Measurements for size small = 25.60" Body width across X 25.73" Length
