“Capricious” cardigan is the adult version of my Sweet Poppy design.

The cardigan is completely seamless and is worked from the top down. I have used an amazing technique developed by Susie Myers, “contiguous set-in sleeves”, that allows shoulder shaping and set-in sleeves construction without the use of a single short row.

Yarn:

It is best worked with 4-ply, sport, and dk weight yarns knitted to a DK gauge.

I strongly recommend to avoid using yarns with silk or bamboo content for this project.

Gauge: 22 sts and 29 rows per 4x4 inches in stockinette stitch on 4.0 mm needles or size to obtain gauge.

Sizes Available (Size/ Chest/ Yardage):

XS/ 30”/ 1000
S1/ 32”/ 1100
