Wolf Cardigan Pattern (Original Version)

Great pattern that I found easy to follow. I loved the grid, which made the whole thing very easy to modify for size and design (I wanted to make the Project Hail Mary fox sweater and elected to modify the original myself to get it more accurate. I also added lenght to the body to get deeper pockets). I will have to clarify that the original pattern WAS modified by Mary Maxim since its publication, and the paws in the front do not match the picture. As I was already modifying the design, it wasn't too much of a problem, and I realised while prepping for my left front, but a friend of mine who was working on their own fox sweater only realized after assembling, and was very disappointed. I also found my final product to be smaller than I expected, but that might be an issue with my choice of yarn and the fact that this was my first knitting project. It sits very well overall and I liked the challenge of colour work. Overall, I enjoyed this pattern a lot, will be buying more vintage patterns from Mary Maxim and knitting them, but next time I knit this one or another hunting cardigan, I won't be shy about adding rows or width to it.

Great pattern! I was told it would be hard to follow as a beginner knitter, but I very much enjoy the simplicity of it. It's explaining without holding your hand, it's straight to the point and easy to reference visually. I'm lucky enough to live in a time where the internet exists, and I have a bunch of youtube tutorials I can refer to if and when I need them (shoutout RJ Knits, their videos are very easy to follow and understand!) Overall, I'm excited about this project, even though I really threw myself into the deep end, going from a couple scarves twenty years ago straight to a colourwork cardigan, but there's no better motivation than "I saw it in a movie and I want it!"

Je le cherchais depuis longtemps il. Est vraiment très beau
