I started this a year ago and put it down over the winter so it’s been a long time coming. The way the pattern is designed it wants to curl on the front edges so I backed it with a ribbon. Unfortunately it still wants to fold over at the ribbon now, but whatever. Not gonna attempt anything now. Overall I like it. Pattern was easy to follow.

This is such a nice design, Jan! Your work and stitches are so perfect! Bonne Marie Burns (Chic Knits) is a great designer. I like this pattern because of its simplicity. Kinda like the Bettna that I’ve knit numerous times!
This eyelet cardigan is a REAL WINNER! Great work!
The closure looks so elegant! I love small details like that. Great work!
Very pretty! It is really lovely. I haven’t visited the Chic Knit site in a while. I should go back there sometime.

Great job Jan! It turned out wonderful! I would be frustrated with the front edges wanting to turn in too though. The color is beautiful and I love the simplicity of this pattern.
It’s beautiful Jan! Such a pretty color and I LOVE the closure you chose! Over all it’s an elegant sweater!
Your cardi turned out very pretty. You mentioned having a problem with it curling even though there is a garter stitch border on both sides. Have you tried to block it? That should help control it, I would think.
I found and saved a pattern about two years ago that was (from what I remember about it) indentical to this one. However, I later deleted it thinking I would never get around to it. I searched for it and can not find it now. I was going to compare and post the link here as an alternative to this one that you have to pay for.
Thanks everyone! 
It’s funny…I get those “even tension” and “perfect stitches” comments all the time, but of course I see where every loose stitch is! :lol:
Lightning… the yarn is a cotton/acrylic blend so the best way to block is to toss it in the washer and dryer which is what I did. Those curling edges can’t be blocked out. I did sew ribbon on the back of the front edges which [I]helped[/I], but didn’t cure it completely. I’m gonna have to be okay with it. I sewed that ribbon on with tiny stitches about 1/8 in apart. 
Beautiful work! Love the color 
Congratulations…this is just beautiful…love the color.
Happy knitting…:knitting:
Oh my, that’s lovely. Great color.
That is beautiful. Darn, how do you get such perfect looking stitches? Love the color too.
[B]Very[/B] chic!
