Introducing the stunning Lily Cardigan, a beautifully crafted top-down, seamless A-line cardigan designed for comfort and style. This short sleeve cardigan features a unique A-line increase, skillfully worked between right and left twists, creating an intricate and elegant pattern that runs gracefully down the sides.

With finished measurements available at the bust for sizes 31 ¾ (34 ½, 37 ¾, 41, 44 ¼, 47 ¾, 50 ¼, 53 ¾, 57) inches, the Lily Cardigan is designed to flatter a variety of body shapes and sizes, ensuring a comfortable fit for everyone.

Materials Required: To create this lovely cardigan, you will need Superwash Fingering yarn by Stunning Strings, which is made from 100% superwash Merino wool. Each 100g hank provides approximately 475 yards of yarn, and you will need 2 (3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4) hanks in the beautiful Blue Mist colorway. In total, you will require approximately 915 (980, 1070, 1145, 1225, 1285, 1350, 1450, 1545) yards of yarn to complete your cardigan.

Recommended Needles: For this project, you'll need one 29” circular needle in size US 5 (3.75 mm). While the body of the cardigan is worked flat, the circular needle allows for easy handling of the larger number of stitches.
