Euphoric Cardigan
Introducing the Euphoric Cardigan, a stunning knit pattern featuring an all-over undulating lace design that truly shines when crafted in a beautiful tonal dyed yarn. This cardigan is the perfect addition to your wardrobe for cool spring, summer, and fall days, providing both style and comfort. With flexibility in design, you can choose to knit long or short sleeves as the pattern includes detailed instructions for both options.
Finished Size Options:
- Chest: 32(36, 40, 44, 48, 52) inches
- Sleeve Circumference: 14.75(15.75, 17.6, 18.4, 19.6, 20.4) inches
- Length: 13(13, 13.5, 15, 15.5, 16) inches from the cast-on edge to underarm, and [21.5(21.5, 23, 25, 26, 27) inches from the cast-on edge to shoulder seam]
Yarn Requirements:
For this project, we recommend Euphoria Knits DK Frenzy, made of 85% Superwash Merino and 15% Nylon, with an impressive yardage of 246 yards per 100g skein. Depending on your size choice, you will need 4(5, 5, 6, 7, 7) skeins for long sleeves. If you opt for short sleeves, you'll require fewer skeins. For reference, the 44” short-sleeved sample in the exquisite colorway River Styx utilized 400g, or 990 yards, of yarn.
Needle Specifications:
You will need a US #5/3.75mm circular needle, at least 32 inches in length (larger sizes may find a longer needle more comfortable). Additionally, a set of US #5/3.75mm double-pointed needles or your preferred method for knitting in the round will also be necessary. Be sure to use the size that achieves gauge.
Gauge:
To ensure your Euphoric Cardigan turns out perfectly, aim for a gauge of 20 stitches and 28 rows per 4 inches in both blocked stockinette and lace patterns. Maintaining accurate gauge is crucial for achieving the desired fit and drape of this lovely cardigan.
Whether you're an experienced knitter or looking to try your hand at lace knitting for the first time, the Euphoric Cardigan is a fantastic project that combines elegance with versatility. Get started on your cozy creation today!
