GARMENT CONSTRUCTION: This stunning Cardigan is designed with convenience and style in mind, knitted seamlessly from the top down in one piece. The body is expertly worked flat, while the sleeves are picked up and knitted in the round for a polished finish. We provide two unique options for the buttonband and cuff patterns, allowing you to customize your cardigan to reflect your personal style.
WHAT YOU NEED: For this gorgeous cardigan, you will require ARAN RICO Essentials Soft Merino Yarn in Colour Grey 076. Each skein contains 50g with a length of 100m.

NEEDLES: Use 5mm long circular needles for the body, hemline, and buttonband. For the sleeves and cuffs, opt for 5mm short circular needles or double-pointed needles (DPNs), depending on your preference and comfort level.
ACCESSORIES: Gather the necessary accessories including stitch markers, a stitch holder, a tapestry needle, and buttons (22-24mm). The number of buttons required will depend on your desired spacing, allowing for further personalization of your cardigan.
GAUGE: Achieve a perfect fit by maintaining a gauge of 16 stitches by 26 rows on a 4x4”/10x10 cm square in textured pattern using 5mm needles. Accurate gauge is essential to ensure your cardigan fits beautifully.
