  1. After row 41 and you fasten off, is the next part that starts with Row 1, am I to start a whole new piece or is that getting attached to the first piece I made? I have never made a cardigan before.
  2. Hi ! I purchased your Men's LG sweater pattern and accidently trashed the download, and emptied trash before I was able to down load. How can I find that again? Thank You for Your help with this matter!
  3. I made this cardigan for my new grandson in size 12 mo. He wore it throughout his first year, and his mom has requested the same sweater in size 2T-3T!! Such a versatile pattern. I used Yarn Bee Soft Secret yarn, first in Slate, and now in Tobacco. This was the first sweater I ever made and the pattern was easy to follow!
    1. Hi Annie! Yes, an ad-free pdf with all childrens sizes can be purchased either through ravelry (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cozy-classroom-cardigan) or here on the blog under the Shop tab.
  4. Can you tell me which yarn was used to make the olive sweater on the cute little blonde boy? I would appreciate knowing the brand and color.
  5. This cardigan is adorable! I am currently making it but am stuck. I sent you an email to hopefully help me with my confusion. It's my first cardigan so the problem is likely me but I would appreciate any help. Thanks!
    1. Where did you get confused? I know I'm stuck and I can't quite understand the counts on the edging round 3 - 5.
