Sizes on patterns were set in the 50's and have never really changed, whereas high street sizes have got bigger and bigger. It would be easier if they all just had a measurement it!<br /><br />Still, it looks great even if you can't wear it!Katy Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04374079358515448439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5703345404636516654.post-5136122538554483792014-11-02T04:33:57.621-08:002014-11-02T04:33:57.621-08:00Really a lovely cardigan!

Your saga of events reminds me of why I rarely see or crochet clothing...because in the end it's supposed to fit, and in my limited experience it often doesn't.
