Eazy

Introducing Eazy, a timeless cardigan design featuring a stunning brioche braid detail at the center back that adds a unique touch to your knitwear collection.

When selecting your size, aim for approximately 8’’ / 20 cm of positive ease at the bust circumference to ensure a comfortable fit that flatters your silhouette.

Yarn Choice: For this cardigan, we recommend using John Arbon Textiles Viola DK, which is made from 100% merino wool and offers a generous yardage of 250 m per 100 g skein. The sample cardigan is showcased in the vibrant color English Mustard, but feel free to explore other DK weight yarns that inspire your creativity.

Skein Requirements: You will need a total of 4-4-4 (4-5-5-5) 6-6-7-8 skeins depending on the size you choose.

Yardage Information: The yardage required for this cardigan ranges from 920 to 1000 yards (845 to 915 meters) for smaller sizes, with larger sizes requiring up to 2090 yards (1910 meters). Check your desired size for precise requirements.

Needles Needed: Use US 6 (4.0 mm) 40’’/100 cm long circular needles to knit this cardigan. You may also prefer to utilize double-pointed needles (dpns) for working the sleeves, especially if you are comfortable with that technique. Remember to adjust your needle size as needed to achieve the correct gauge.

Gauge Specification: To ensure your cardigan fits perfectly, aim for a gauge of 20 stitches and 30 rounds per 4x4’’ / 10x10 cm square when using stockinette stitch, worked flat after blocking.

Additional Supplies: You will also need 6 stitch markers, some scrap yarn, a crochet hook, and a tapestry needle to finish your project. These tools will help you stay organized and ensure your pattern is completed successfully.
