Libra Cardigan
Introducing the Libra Cardigan, a delightful knitted piece crafted especially for those born under the Libra sign! This chic and stylish cardigan is not only a unique gift for your best friend, but it also embodies the balance and harmony typically associated with Libra personalities. Perfect for transitional weather, this cardigan is both functional and fashionable.
The Libra Cardigan is designed to be worked top down, allowing for an easy and enjoyable knitting experience. Once the piece has been divided for the body and sleeves, the body is knitted flat while the sleeves are crafted in the round using double-pointed needles for a seamless finish. This structured approach not only enhances the drape of the cardigan but also makes the process straightforward, even for those new to top-down designs.
Available in sizes S, M, and L, the Libra Cardigan offers a bust circumference of 82-92-102 cm, catering to various body types. The length of the cardigan, measured at the back, is approximately 55-60-65 cm, creating an ideal fit that complements diverse styles. Whether you’re pairing it with jeans for a casual outing or layering it over a dress for a night out, this cardigan is versatile enough for any occasion.
For this project, we recommend using Drops Sky yarn which results in a cozy and fluffy texture. Depending on the size chosen, you will need 4-5-6 balls for the Main Color (MC) and 1 ball for the Contrast Color (CC). To bring your creation to life, gather your tools: circular needles (60 cm) and double-pointed needles sized at 4.5mm. Don’t forget essential accessories like markers, stitch holders, and 5 pieces of 3 cm buttons to perfect the finishing touches on your Libra Cardigan.
Ensure your knit meets the gauge of 22 stitches x 30 rows = 10 x 10 cm in stocking stitch using 4.5mm needles after blocking. This gauge is crucial for achieving the correct fit and drape of your cardigan.
Thank you for choosing my pattern! I hope you find joy and satisfaction as you knit this beautiful Libra Cardigan. Embrace your creativity and enjoy every stitch!
Happy knitting,
