Cardigan EIGHT

If you're captivated by this design but are seeking a more playful and contemporary twist, be sure to explore my shop for the “BULKY version” – perfect for those who love cozy, stylish layers! :)

**GARMENT CONSTRUCTION:** This stunning cardigan is crafted with care, worked in one continuous piece, seamlessly knitted from the top down. The body is knitted flat, and later, the sleeves are picked up and completed in the round for a clean, modern look.

**YARN:** For this incredible cardigan, I recommend using West Yorkshire Spinners' Illustrious yarn in the beautiful Colour: Pebble Grey. Each skein weighs 100g and offers 225m of luxurious yarn. You will need approximately 850 (950, 1000, 1180, 1350, 1500) meters, depending on your size.

**NEEDLES:** You will need 3.5 mm and 4 mm long circular needles for the body, hemline, and button band. Additionally, please have 3.5 mm and 4 mm shorter circular needles or double-pointed needles (DPNs) handy for knitting the sleeves, cuffs, and pockets.

**GAUGE:** Achieve a gauge of 21 stitches x 28 rows in a 4x4”/10x10 cm square using 4 mm needles in a textured pattern. Maintaining this gauge is essential for the perfect fit of your knitted cardigan.

**SIZES:** The pattern comes in a range of sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL). The sample size is M, designed intentionally to be worn with a comfortable 6-8” positive ease, offering you freedom of movement and style.

**DIMENSIONS:** The finished cardigan measures LENGTH: 54 (54, 55, 55, 56, 56) cm / 21.25 (21.25, 21.7, 21.7, 22, 22) inches. The BUST measurements are 105 (115, 125, 135, 145, 158) cm / 41.5 (45.3, 49.2, 53, 57, 62) inches, ensuring a flattering shape for various body types.

Whether you're a seasoned knitter or just starting, this modern cardigan pattern is perfect for adding a chic yet cozy layer to your wardrobe. Happy knitting!
