Finished Size:
This stunning cardigan comes in a range of sizes to accommodate various body types, with finished dimensions including a chest measurement of 32(36, 40, 44, 48, 52) inches. The sleeve circumference also varies, measuring 12.75(13.75, 14.5, 16.25, 17, 17.75) inches. Length is totally up to you—though we recommend a standard length of 14(14.5, 15, 16, 16.5, 17) inches from underarm to hem for a classic look.
Yarn Requirements: The Danseuse Cardigan is best crafted with Dragonfly Fibers Dance Rustic Silk—crafted from 100% silk noil, this luxurious yarn comes with an impressive 450 yards per 4 oz. skein. You’ll need 2(3, 3, 3, 3, 3) skeins, equating to approximately 800(950, 1000, 1150, 1250, 1350) yards in total. Our sample was elegantly created in the shade Silver Fox.
Needle Specifications: For optimal results, use a US #6/4.5mm circular needle, 32 inches or longer. Additionally, you'll need double-pointed needles (dpns) or circulars to knit small circumference areas in the round.
Gauge: To ensure your cardigan fits perfectly, aim for a gauge of 20 stitches and 24 rows per 4 inches in stockinette stitch, whether you are working flat or in the round.
