Skill Level: Intermediate

Techniques Used: Chain, slip stitch, yarn over slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, short rows.

This design is made up of several pieces that are worked sideways and separately, then joined together using a crochet seam. In the body panels, we will shape the shoulders using gradual increases or decreases, and in the front panel, we will add short rows to shape the V-neck opening. The sleeves include two short-row sections at the top to increase the width in that area and ensure a more comfortable fit. Once all pieces are assembled, the front ribbing is worked, where buttons can be added optionally to close the cardigan.

MATERIALS

YARN for sizes XS/S/M/L/XL/2XL:

• Mayflower Cotton 8/4, 100% cotton, 4-ply, 1,76 oz/ 50 g = 186 yds/170 m.

450/475/550/580/650/680 gr. = 1530/1615/1870/1972/2210/2312 m

15,9/16,8/19,4/20,5/22,9/24 oz = 1673/1766/2045/2157/2417/2528 yds.
- Silja Superwash from Gjestal, Sport, 5 ply, 12 wpi, “2:Fine”, mix: 80% wool superwash and 20% nailon: 1,76 oz/50 gr. = 164 yds/150 m.
460/485/570/600/670/710 gr. = 1380/1455/1710/1800/2010/2130 m.

- In general, this relaxed-fit design allows for a wide variety of yarns, as long as they match the indicated gauge. If you use a yarn that contains some synthetic fiber, the garment may shrink slightly in width, but it will hardly be noticeable, as the measurements include 20 to 25 cm of positive ease.

It is advisable to purchase an additional 10-15% of the total yarn to cover errors, adjustments or variations in tension.

Hook size: 3,5 mm/(US E-4; UK 9). Tapestry needle, markers, 4 buttons (20 mm).
