Arabella

Introducing the Arabella Open Front Cardigan – a stylish and versatile addition to your wardrobe that looks fabulous over a tank top or shirt. This beautiful cardigan is expertly knit from the top down, featuring a delicate lace and ribbed hem, edging, and collar that add a touch of elegance to any outfit.

Designed for knitters looking to create a cozy yet chic garment, the Arabella cardigan is made using DK weight yarn (8 ply), with a yarn weight gauge of approximately 11 wraps per inch (wpi). To achieve the perfect fit, you'll need to maintain a gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rows, equating to a 4-inch square, so gauge swatching is recommended.

For your knitting project, we recommend using US size 6 (4.0 mm) needles, which will help you achieve the ideal fabric density and drape. The yardage required for this cardigan ranges from 600 to 1100 yards (549 to 1006 meters), depending on the size you choose.

The Arabella cardigan is available in a variety of sizes to accommodate a range of body types, including XS (28-30”), SM (32-35”), MD (36-39”), LG (40-43”), XL (44-47”), and XXL (48-52”). This ensures that everyone can enjoy the comfort and style of this open front cardigan.
