Dank U cardi

Dank U Cardi is a stunning deep V neck cardigan featuring intricate cable designs that add texture and elegance to your wardrobe. The name "Dank u" translates to "Thank you" in Dutch, and this lovely piece is a heartfelt tribute to the beautiful city of Amsterdam. Before departing, I felt inspired to create this cardigan to capture and share the wonderful memories I've made in this vibrant city.

This cardigan is designed to be worked from the top down, allowing for a customizable fit. The body is knitted flat, while the sleeves are crafted in the round after you've divided the body and sleeves. At first glance, the pattern may appear complex, but once you master the repeating elements, you'll find it much more manageable. Plus, you have the flexibility to adjust the body and sleeve lengths to suit your personal style.

Available in sizes S, M, L, XL, and 2XL, the finished measurements for the chest are 94, 98, 102, 106, and 110 cm respectively. The cardigan length from the neckline to the bottom is approximately 66 cm, and from underarm to bottom, it measures about 41 cm. This versatility ensures that anyone can enjoy the beauty and comfort of this design.

For this illustrious cardigan, you will need 9, 10, 11, 12, or 13 skeins of Garnstudio Drops Belle yarn (with a yardage of 120m per 50g skein), totaling approximately 1100, 1200, 1300, 1400, or 1500 meters. Pair this with a 4mm circular needle for best results. The gauge to aim for is 20 stitches and 22 rows, equating to 10 cm in stockinette stitch.

Whether you are an experienced knitter or a creative beginner, the Dank U Cardi pattern is an excellent choice for your next project. Embrace the challenge of cables and enjoy the satisfaction of crafting a gorgeous cardigan that will bring warmth and charm to your collection. Discover your next knitting adventure and pay homage to Amsterdam with this unique cardigan design!
