This charming knitting pattern is part of the **Lihan Design Capsule**, featuring three delightful designs: the **Lihan Cardigan**, **Lihan Dress**, and **Lihan Sweater**. Each design combines style with functional ease, perfect for any young wardrobe.

The Lihan Cardigan showcases a sophisticated circular yoke top-down construction, allowing for versatility in your project. You can opt for a classic look with a plain stockinette stitch cardigan accentuated by nearly invisible increases. Alternatively, embrace a touch of summer with an eyelet increase or add texture with a charming nupp increase. Additionally, you have the creative freedom to choose from various sleeve styles, including short sleeves, straight, or shaped long sleeves, ensuring a perfect fit for any occasion.

**NEEDLES:** Use circular needles to achieve the correct gauge: one larger needle (recommended size 4.0 mm / US 6) and one smaller needle (recommended size 3.0 mm / US 3). A needle length of at least 60 cm (24 inches) is recommended for comfortable knitting.

**GAUGE:** Achieve a gauge of 20 stitches x 30 rows = 10x10 cm (4x4 inches) in stockinette stitch, blocked, with the larger needle size for best results.

**YARN:** Choose a DK weight yarn or any yarn that allows you to achieve the requested gauge. Recommendations include Sandnes Garn Duo or Sandnes Garn Line for a perfect blend of softness and durability.
