Skumtop

Introducing the Skumtop A-Line Cardigan, a beautifully crafted piece that is knitted from the bottom edge up, showcasing an intricate textured lace pattern across the body. This stunning cardigan features long, set-in sleeves, and utilizes a unique raglan construction, allowing for a seamless and flattering fit.

The Skumtop pattern is specifically designed for yarn with a gauge of 26 stitches per 10 centimeters in stockinette stitch, corresponding to a yardage of approximately 300 meters per 100 grams.

This knitting pattern accommodates a variety of sizes, including S, M, L, XL, XXL, and XXXL, with chest widths measuring 93 (103, 111, 118, 126, 133) centimeters and lengths ranging from 60 (62, 64, 65, 66, 67) centimeters. Whether you're gifting it or keeping it for yourself, the Skumtop cardigan is a versatile addition to any wardrobe.

Designed for knitters who are experienced with textured lace knitting, this pattern incorporates both circular and flat knitting techniques.
