Engadin
Introducing the Engadin Open Front Cardigan: a beautifully designed garment that features exquisite cable details along the front V-neck opening, cuffs, and a charming panel that runs down the back. This stylish cardigan is worked from the shoulder down, allowing for an elegant and seamless construction that adds to its sophisticated look. Once the body is completed, the cardigan is seamed for a polished finish. The sleeves are picked up from the armholes and knitted in the round, utilizing a short row sleeve cap for a perfect fit. To enhance its refined appearance, an applied I-cord border is added to the front and neck edges, providing thoughtful detailing that makes this piece stand out in any wardrobe. Yarn To create the Engadin Cardigan, we recommend using Outlaw Yarn Bohemia Sport, a luxurious blend of 45% Polwarth Wool, 45% Alpaca, and 10% Possum fibre. Each ball of yarn contains 167 metres (183 yards) and weighs 50 g (3.5 oz). For this pattern, you will need 7 (7, 8, 9, 10) skeins, depending on the size. The sample shown is in the stunning shade of Carnivale. Alternatively, you can use any sport weight yarn, approximately 1250 (1330, 1450, 1625, 1790 yds) or 1143 (1217, 1326, 1486, 1637 m) to complete your cardigan. Needles For the best results, you will need a US 5 (3.75 mm) minimum 32”/80 cm circular needle, along with US 5 (3.75 mm) double-pointed needles (DPNs) or your preferred method for knitting in small circumferences. Gauge Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for the fit of your Engadin Cardigan. The gauge for this pattern is 24 stitches and 34 rows = 4” / 10 cm in stockinette stitch. Finished Sizes The Engadin Cardigan comes in a range of sizes, including XS (S, M, LG, XL), with a finished bust measurement of 34 ½ (37 ½, 40 ½, 44 ½, 48 ½)” / 88 (95, 103, 113, 123) cm.
