Yarn Type: To create this beautiful cardigan, you will need a DK weight yarn that offers just the right amount of structure and support. We recommend avoiding overly soft threads to ensure that the garter stitch maintains its shape and does not sag under the weight of the garment. The pattern requires approximately 1345 (1420, 1490, 1565, 1655, 1730, 1800, 1878, 1950, 2025) meters or 1470 (1555, 1630, 1715, 1810, 1895, 1970, 2055, 2135, 2215) yards of yarn. Choose a fiber that complements your style while providing warmth and durability!
Recommended Needles: For this cardigan, you’ll need a pair of 4.5 mm (US 7) needles for the body and 4 mm (US 6) needles for the ribbing sections. These needle sizes will help achieve the proper gauge and allow your stitches to pop with texture.
Essential Notions: Don’t forget to gather your knitting essentials! You will need stitch markers to keep track of your rows, a tapestry needle for weaving in ends, some waste yarn for any temporary holds, and 6 buttons (12mm) for a polished finish. These tools will help ensure a smooth knitting experience and a professional-looking result.
Gauge Information: Achieve a perfect fit by following the gauge of 18 stitches and 30 rows for a 10 cm square (or 4 inches) in garter stitch, using 4.5 mm needles after blocking. Correct gauge is crucial for ensuring your cardigan has the intended dimensions and drape.
