      That is beautiful. What type of stitch is that? How did you get your button band so ruffled?

        Hi, thanks for your comments. The stitch is a variation on a rib and is exactly as in the pattern, however I'm knitting another cardigan at the moment using seed stitch. I don't know how I managed to get the ruffle, I followed the pattern instructions but I may have picked up too many stitches.

        Thanks. It took a few days to knit but it was worth it.
