Acacia Cardigan

**Acacia Cardigan Pattern: A Beautiful Seamless Top-Down Cardigan with Unique Features** The Acacia Cardigan is an exquisite top-down, seamless cardigan that combines comfort and style. With a flattering round neck design and expertly shaped with raglan increases, this cardigan features a delightful mix of cables, twisted stitches, and elegant eyelets that elevate your knitting project. To ensure a perfect fit, short rows are incorporated to create a lovely higher back neck that adds sophistication to the overall design. One of the standout features of the Acacia Cardigan is its convenience; the button bands are knit simultaneously with the body of the cardigan. This innovative technique means you don’t have to worry about picking up stitches at the end, saving you time and effort. **Measurements and Gauge:** To achieve the best results, it's essential to match the gauge: 21 stitches and 29 rows equals 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 in) in stockinette stitch on the larger needle after blocking. We recommend a positive ease of 5 to 12 cm (2 to 4.8 in) for a comfortable fit. The sample shown features 8 cm (3.2 in) of positive ease, ensuring a cozy and relaxed silhouette. **Bust Circumference Sizes:** The Acacia Cardigan comes in a range of bust circumferences to accommodate various sizes: - B: 97 (100, 105) (108, 113, 124) cm / 38.25 (39.25, 41.25) (42.5, 44.5, 48.75) in. **Yarn Requirements:** For this beautiful cardigan, you will need the perfect yarn combination. Use one strand of Isager Spinni (lace weight) yarn held together with one strand of Isager Alpaca 2 (fingering weight) yarn. Here are the specific yarn requirements: - Isager Spinni: 100% Pure New Wool, 600m per 100g, color #3 — 2 (2, 3) (3, 3, 3) skeins. - Isager Alpaca 2: 50% Alpaca, 50% Wool, 250m per 50g, color #3 — 4 (4, 5) (5, 6, 7) skeins. This equals approximately 950 (1000, 1200) (1250, 1500, 1750) meters of DK weight yarn.
