Apart from knitting socks and Baable Hats, I had no experience en knitting cardis or jumpers. I really tried, but instructions usually put me off until I stumbled upon Fernand la Fabrique‘s IG feed. The small price of the pattern was a great incentive (4.90 euros) and I gave it a try with the Gustav Cardigan (instructions are only in French unfortunately).
I read the instructions thoroughly and was greatly pleased with them. Very clear and totally understandable for a newbie like me.
