Featuring a draping, flowing back and a playful front buttoning design, this unique cardigan is the perfect addition to elevate your wardrobe this winter!
Sizes
To find your perfect fit, measure your chest circumference right under the arms, at the height of the armhole. Choose from the following sizes for the closest fit:
Circumference at high bust: 29/32/34/37 (40/43/46/48) inches, or 75/81/86/94 (101/110/117/122) cm.
The featured garment is a size 40 inches/101 cm, modeled on a high bust circumference of 39 inches/99 cm, showcasing how beautifully it fits.
Materials Required
For this enchanting cardigan, you will need 1 thread of fingering weight yarn held together with 1 thread of lace weight mohair. You will require approximately:
600/650/680/700 (800/850/900/950) yards, or 550/600/620/640 (730/780/830/870) meters of each yarn type.
(If you plan to add length to the cardigan, it's advisable to have extra yarn on hand to ensure a perfect fit.)
Additionally, gather your tools: a 6 mm (US 10) circular needle, a 10 mm (US 15) circular needle, and double-pointed needles in the same sizes, unless you prefer knitting the sleeves with the magic loop method.
With detailed instructions and a comfortable fit, the Tundra cardigan is your go-to knitting project to stay cozy and stylish throughout the winter months. Start crafting your own cloud-like experience today!
