Finished Size
The Dania cardigan comes in a range of bust sizes: 30” (34”, 38”, 42”, 46”, 50”). When selecting your finished size, we recommend choosing one that is slightly larger than your bust measurement. This will prevent any gaping in the button band, ensuring a polished and comfortable look.
Yarn
For this delightful cardigan, we recommend using Knit Picks Wool of the Andes, a luxurious 100% Peruvian Highland Wool, which comes in 110-yard skeins weighing 50 grams. Here's the yarn requirement based on your size:
• Cobblestone Heather (dark gray) - 7 (8, 9, 10, 11, 12) Balls
• Coal (black) - 1 (2, 2, 2, 2, 2) Balls
• Dove Heather (light gray) - 1 Ball
• Cranberry (red) - 1 Ball
The combination of these colors creates a beautiful blend perfect for any winter wardrobe.
Needles
To bring your Dania cardigan to life, you'll need the following knitting needles:
• US Size 6 (4.0 mm) for 2x2 ribbing
• US Size 7 (4.5 mm) for stockinette stitch
These sizes are essential for achieving the right tension and drape for your finished cardigan.
Notions
Don't forget these essential knitting notions for completing your cardigan:
• Scrap yarn for stitch holder
