This pattern is so diverse! Choose any yarn, paired with any needle size! Use any yarn: I recommend wool, mohair, alpaca, silk blends

Follow the charts along the way to find out yardage, and the number of stitches to cast on. It is worked as 2 panels in the ribbing stitch, and then seamed together to make a cardigan that you can wear two ways! The armbands (optional) get picked up and worked after you seam.

MATERIALS
Y A R N
Pick a yarn, and grab some needles! It’s recommended to use needles 2 sizes larger than what the yarn recommends for a nice drape. See sizes on next page.

Knit a 4”x4” swatch in a 2x2 ribbing and use the chart below to figure out how many yards you need based on your gauge. Be sure to block your swatch before you measure!
