One size. Dimensions of finished garment:

Total Length (front/back): approx.69 / 71cm (27.1 - 27.9”)
Sleeve Length: approx. 55 cm (21.6”)

Please note 2-3 cm error can be there due to hand measurements and high knitting elasticity.

Equipment

• Sentro 48-needle circular knitting machine (all 48 needles active for sleeves; fewer for flat
pieces — see each section) or Addi Kingsize (46 needles)
• US 8 / 5 mm circular needles, 24” (60 cm) length — for holding live stitches and optional
bind-off or I-cord
• US J-10 / 6 mm crochet hook — for bind-off and seaming (optionally)
• US 8 / 5 mm Double Pointed Needles — for I-cord and ties (optionally, more convenient)
• Elastic thread — for a drawstring in sleeve and stabilizing neckline (optionally)
• Tapestry needle (blunt tip) — for weaving in ends and mattress stitch seaming
• Locking stitch markers or large safety pins — for pinning pieces before seaming
• Waste yarn in a contrasting color — for provisional cast-on
• Scissors, tape measure, blocking mat and pins (optional but recommended for finishing)

This is a genuinely beginner-friendly pattern. Every single step is written out in detail, with nothing assumed and nothing skipped. And for the trickier parts — the ruffle attachment, the tie-front finish, the neckline — I filmed dedicated VIDEO TUTORIALS myself, linked directly in the PDF at the exact moment you need them.

You’re never left guessing what a written instruction actually looks like in real life.

What makes this cardigan special:

— Soft, semi-sheer mohair with a dreamy, romantic drape
— Dramatic double ruffle hem and ruffled sleeve cuffs
— Tie-front closure — flattering and adjustable, no buttons needed
— Worked flat on a Sentro or Addi Kingsize circular knitting machine
— Quick to make — this is a satisfying weekend-to-week project, not a months-long commitment

Unlike most machine knitting patterns that leave you stuck at the finishing steps, this one holds your hand all the way through — written instructions plus real video demonstrations for every technique that’s hard to picture from text alone.

This pattern is for anyone who wants a genuinely unique, editorial-looking piece without years of hand-knitting experience — just a knitting machine, some mohair, and an afternoon.
