Coat ONE

GARMENT CONSTRUCTION: This stylish cardigan/coat is designed to be worked flat and seamlessly from the top down, featuring Raglan increases that extend down to the underarm. In this pattern, the sleeves are separated after the body is completed, allowing for a more refined finish. You'll start by finishing the body first, creating a cozy and comfortable fit. The sleeves will then be worked in the round for a seamless look. Finally, the button band and collar are the finishing touches that bring this beautiful piece together.

YARN:

For this elegant garment, we recommend using Drops Karisma, a Worsted/Light Aran weight yarn. The color used in the pattern sample is Light Oak, which lends a warm and inviting tone to the cardigan. You will need approximately 650 (700, 750, 850, 950) grams, translating to 1300 (1400, 1500, 1700, 1900) meters of yarn, depending on the size you choose.

NEEDLES:

To craft this stunning piece, you'll require 5.5mm & 5mm Long Circular needles for the body and button band. For the sleeves and cuffs, 5.5mm & 5mm short circular needles or DPNs (Double Pointed Needles) are recommended to ensure a precise fit and easy maneuverability while knitting.

GAUGE:

Achieve the perfect fit with a gauge of 15 stitches x 26 rows in a 4x4” / 10x10cm square using the larger needles in garter stitch. This gauge is crucial for ensuring that your finished cardigan maintains its lovely shape and size.

SIZES:

This pattern offers a versatile range of sizes: S (M, L, XL, XXL), with the sample displayed in size L. The size is customisable, allowing you to create a personalized fit that suits your individual style and comfort preferences.
