Hiraeth Cardigan

Introducing our cozy shawl-collared cardigan, the perfect companion for snuggling during those chilly evenings. This versatile cardigan features a delightful mock cable pattern on the cuffs, hem, and collar, making it a great project for new knitters looking to expand their skills. Crafted from a stunning yarn that resembles beautiful handspun, this cardigan not only looks gorgeous but also provides the ultimate softness and warmth thanks to its high-quality fiber content.

Available in a range of sizes, this cardigan offers a comfortable fit with the following measurements: Chest sizes of 32(36, 40, 44, 48, 52) inches and a length of 13(13.5, 14, 14, 14.5, 15) inches from cast-on to underarm. This ensures that everyone can find their perfect fit as they wrap themselves in this lovely piece.

For your project, we recommend using Flying Goat Farm Synergy yarn, which is made from 100% Merino wool. Each skein contains 200 yards per 4 oz, and you will require 5(5, 5, 6, 7, 8) skeins depending on your chosen size. The sample was beautifully knit in a rich Lapis color, adding to its cozy aesthetic.

To create this charming cardigan, you will need a US #6/4.00mm circular needle, at least 32 inches or longer for the body of the cardigan (larger sizes may prefer a longer needle), along with your favorite method for knitting small circumferences in the round. Feel free to use any needles that help you achieve the proper gauge.

For this pattern, the gauge is 20 stitches and 28 rows per 4 inches in stockinette stitch. Ensuring accurate gauge will help your cardigan fit perfectly and look its best. Don't forget to gather other essential notions such as stitch markers, waste yarn, or stitch holders to make your knitting experience seamless and enjoyable.
