Cardigan ELEVEN
GARMENT CONSTRUCTION: This stylish cardigan is expertly crafted from the top down in a seamless construction method, featuring Raglan increases for a comfortable fit. The design includes strategic neckline increases for a flattering slight V-Neck in the front, enhancing both style and fit. The body is worked flat until reaching the underarm, at which point the sleeves are separated from the body for finishing. The sleeves are then skillfully knitted in the round, allowing for a clean and polished finish.
WHAT YOU NEED:
YARN USED: We recommend using DROPS AIR yarn. The approximate usage is as follows: 280 (300, 330, 370, 450, 500, 550) grams, depending on the size you choose.
NEEDLES: You’ll require a 4.5mm long circular needle (100-120 cm) for knitting the body and hemline, as well as a 4.5mm short circular needle or double-pointed needles (DPN) for the sleeves and cuffs. Ensure you select the right needle size to achieve the correct gauge for optimal results.
GAUGE: To ensure your cardigan fits perfectly, achieve a gauge of 18 stitches x 28 rows in a 4x4” square in Stockinette stitch.
SIZES: Available sizes include XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL), with the sample shown in size L, providing a versatile option for various body types.
DIMENSIONS: The final bust measurement, including the overlapping edgeband, is approximately 82 (89, 99, 109, 117, 130, 140) cm / 32 (35, 39, 43, 46, 51, 55) inches, offering around 6-8 inches of positive ease for a comfort fit.
