ChristineCardigan is a simple and classic cardigan with a twist. It’s oversized with extra-long sleeves, where the whole look is tied together by a single button at the top. The cardigan is knitted from top to bottom.

Needles: Circular needles 5.5 and 4.5 cm for rib (60, 80 or 100 cm – depending on growing number of stitches)
Knitting tension: Two threads on needle 5.5 mm in stockinette st: 10 x 10 cm = 16 sts x 23 rows after washing and drying

Washing instructions
Hand wash at around 30 degrees (Celsius) with wool soap. Don’t let the work soak in the water. Dry flat on a towel, preferably with heated floors. Baby Merino is a very elastic yarn, but since it is knitted together with a thread of mohair, the yarn maintains its shape.
