Finished Sizes: 31 (33½, 36¼, 38¾, 41¼, 43¾,) (46½, 49, 51½, 54)" bust circumference. This measurement is based on twice the back measurement at bust level. The cardigan shown measures 33½", modeled with a relaxed 1-2 inches of ease for a comfortable fit.

Yarn Requirements: For this beautiful cardigan, we recommend using The Plucky Knitter Feet yarn (90% merino, 10% nylon; 425 yds / 100 g). You will need the following skeins: Candy Dish 5 (6, 6, 7, 7, 8,) (8, 8, 9, 9). This equates to approximately 2125 (2300, 2490, 2660, 2835, 3000,) (3195, 3365, 3535, 3700) yards total—direct yardage may vary depending on individual knitting tension.

Needle Information: Use Size 4 (3.5 mm) 29" circular needles and a set of double-pointed needles (dpns). Please adjust your needle size as necessary to achieve the correct gauge.

Notions Needed: Be sure to gather markers (m); stitch holders or waste yarn; and a tapestry needle for finishing touches on your knitted piece.

Gauge: To ensure your cardigan fits beautifully, aim for a gauge of 25 stitches and 34 rows = 4" in Stockinette Stitch, and 29 stitches and 34 rows = 4" in Slip Stitch pattern. To save time and ensure a proper fit, it's essential to check your gauge before starting your project.
