The shape of the clothes are a little old fashioned but the designs are beautiful. Also Ravelry might have some free designs that work or Lovecrafts.

GimmeMedals Apr 2021 10:33pm, 14 Apr 2021 20,700 posts	Quote Pin GimmeMedals I have made my first ever swatch this evening - thanks to Meglet for suggesting this previously - ahead of starting to knit a cardigan. I've got a set of interchangeable needles, but not a 7mm (required by the pattern) so did the swatch on 6.5mm instead, as I think I'm a loose knitter. I'm hoping that gives the right size after blocking, or I'm going to have to buy more needles. The Drops Melody (alpaca/merino) yarn knits up beautifully but I'll be adding lifelines (thanks to JK for that tip!) as I don't think it will unravel very easily due to its mohair like texture. I'm looking forward to getting started on my first ever cardigan.
