Yarn Information

For this lovely cardigan, use Sparrow by Quince & Co., a luxurious 100% organic linen yarn. Each skein contains 168 yards (155 meters) of fingering weight linen, and you’ll need 6 (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10, 11, 12) skeins in the enchanting Fundi colorway. In total, you’ll require approximately 900 (985, 1105, 1235, 1350, 1520, 1660, 1820, 1905) yards (830 (905, 1020, 1140, 1250, 1400, 1530, 1675, 1760) meters) to complete your cardigan. This high-quality yarn not only provides a beautiful drape but also feels incredibly soft against the skin.

Needles Required

To craft this lovely cardigan, you'll need one 16" and one 32" circular needle or longer, both in size US 4 (3.5 mm). Additionally, have a set of double-pointed needles in the same size to help achieve the perfect gauge.

Essential Notions

Some additional tools will come in handy for this project. Be sure to gather stitch markers, a stitch holder or waste yarn, and some scrap yarn of similar weight for the Sunday short rows. Don’t forget a tapestry needle to weave in your ends for a polished finish!

Gauge Information

For the best results, aim for a gauge of 24 stitches and 30 rows = 4" (10 cm) in stockinette stitch after blocking. Achieving the correct gauge is crucial for ensuring your cardigan fits perfectly.

Important Note

This cardigan is designed with a unique construction method: the yoke and body are worked back and forth in rows from the top down. The use of a circular needle accommodates the large number of stitches involved, making the knitting process both efficient and enjoyable.
