Sooo I tried a bit and found a solution that I really like, even better than my originally planned decorative pattern.
Something I really hadn’t expected! 🙂
First I unpicked a whole section – see arrow pointing upwards – and then (see arrow pointing downwards) continued working with a different decorative pattern. However, in order for this to work out, the cardigan had to become longer (see area with the +) and is now more a knitted coat than a cardigan.
But that doesn’t matter at all, because I’ve wanted one of these for a long time anyway! So my “fail” has somehow turned into a “win situation”!
