This red sweater turned out pretty good, and just in time for the Fall season, (Very hot at the moment!!) The free pattern is called Kid Seta cardigan from the Cascade Yarns website: http://cascadeyarns.com/patterns_sweaters.asp 

I used the alpaca blend I won on Ebay. I knit loose, so I knitted with size 3 US circular needles instead of the recommended size 6 US.  Some people had problems with this cardigan coming out too large so that is another reason why I went with a smaller needle.

 This cardi is a size medium.  The pattern is straight-forward (flat knitting) then seamed.  It was an easy knit and I would consider making another one some time.  I kept the sleeves rolled because I liked the look…..but down the road might steam them straight.

I had to upload the pictures from my phone to the post because the media button from the laptop wasn’t working….very strange….so this picture looks kinda grainy. 

Love this time of the year but it’s hard to enjoy with all the unusual heat we’ve been having : (

 Happy Fall and knitting : )
