I found the inspiration for this cardigan in Morrocan ceramic tiles. But the yarn and the way to do the decreases on the yoke are Scottish. I have therefore called it Marrakech meets Lerwick cardigan.

The cardigan is knitted in the round, bottom up. It is steeked and cut in the front, and has knitted facings on the inside of the button bands.

Measurements for the finished garment in the different sizes are:
Upper sleeve: 29 (29) 32 (32) 35 cm
Sleeve length: 44 (45) 46 (47) 48 cm
Chest: 76 (82) 88 (95) 101 cm
Waist: 66 (72) 78 (85) 91 cm
Hips: 76 (82) 88 (95) 101 cm
Whole length: 52 (53) 54 (55) 56 cm

The set also includes a slouchy hat and mittens.
