notes B oh oduster
c•a•r•d•i
● Pattern is worked in multiples of 4. If you are eliminating lattice work from a sleeve,
you can work in multiples of 2 instead of 4 if needed.
● My beginning chainless foundation on both cardi/dusters pictured was 180 ST.
I am 5’1”; approx 115 lbs. My upper arm at the largest point is 12” around.
t
● I used 180 ST CT for the Ivory (Acrylic Yarn Bee Brushworks) and the Nutmeg
e
Nibbles (Cotton Yarn Bee Sugar Wheel). I used 100 beginning ST CT on the Pink
(Acrylic Yarn Bee DK). All 3 of these yarns are labeled a #3 weight but they all feel
h
very different in weight. Another reason it’s important to check your gauge.
c
● You will not see multiple ST CT at the end of the rows because there is such a wide
o
range of options. It will depend on the length you prefer
r
● On the Cardi/Duster & Sleeves: Odd numbered rows are when you are working on
the front & even numbered rows are when you are working on the back.
. c
Worked from the back, Bobbles will auto-pop forward.
l
● Chain at beginning of row does not count as a ST. I love CH 1 ONLY, no matter
t
what stitch follows because I feel like it keeps my rows straighter. If you prefer to
follow the rule of CH 2 before DC and CH 2 before TR, you may certainly do so.
● With large stitch counts such as these, it’s a good idea to put a stitch marker every
20 or 40 stitches on the current row you’re working. It’s much easier to work a small
“section” and may save some unnecessary frogging later.
● You’re actually starting your Cardi at a Side Seam and working toward the opposite
Side Seam.
● Google and YouTube are your best friend for any stitches you are unfamiliar with.
● For those of you who have worked several of my boho patterns in the past, you will
see there are many options for customizing the sleeves as you wish. As long as you
remember BO & TR are worked from back and SC & FPSC are worked on front.
● Made in cotton, mine is so drapy, soft & absorbent, I am using it as a swim cover.
● I usually block my pockets and let them dry overnight before stitching on.
PRO-TIP: Pin to blocking boards dry; spray with a mixture of water/fabric softener at
a 3:1 ratio; lay under a ceiling fan to dry. They’ll look good, and smell good too!
● For luxurious looking fringe, trim straight & STEAM IT!

Sizing Guide B

c•a•r•d•i
●Easily add width to your garment by adding Rows, preferably in the
t
middle back. After Row 25 & before Row 28 DCXST stitches would
e
be the ideal place to add.
och

●Drape tape measure over shoulder to figure length
l
desired. Remember to figure for fringe, you may
t
need to deduct 4-6”.
●Easily add length to your garment by adding
stitches to the beginning foundation.

Measure your armhole down from the shoulder, approx 9-10”. This meant seaming 70

As mentioned in Notes, my upper arm is 12” around. I used 44 STS for beginning my
sleeves at the shoulders. To figure out which stitch I will insert my hook into and begin,
I did the math:
et
180 - 44 = 136 | 136/2 = 68
Count up from the bottom stitch (where you fastened off) 68 STS and insert hook into
h
the 69th ST from the back of your work, join yarn, CH 1. (You will eventually do this
c
same thing on the other side seam of the Cardi for your second sleeve.)
