This is currently a pre-sale, you will receive details on yarn, sizing and tension, so that you will be ready to go as soon as it is published - you will be sent an updated pattern when it is published.

An easy to make ripple cardigan, with the body made in one piece, sleeves attached and a border for the front and neck, with additional options for a hood, ribbed cuff on sleeves and bottom edge of cardigan, and a buttonhole band.

Sizes are inclusive and non standard. from 1-10 - 61cm (24in) to 198cm (78in)

Tension should be one pattern repeat = 7.5cm (measure the middle repeat on your square) 10cm = 7 rows. Tension square can also make a pocket. Stitch tension is more important than row tension, if you cannot make row tension, you can crochet to measurements in the pattern.

I have used Stylecraft Batik Swirl and Chromatic in my two samples, but any DK would be fine. You will find the sizing chart in the pictures.
