The Gramercy Cardigan is textured decadence. With its cables and bobbles, people will be baffled that you could make something so luxurious all on your own.

Materials:
- 6 (7) 8 (8) 9 (9) 9 (10) 10 skeins of 100g/100m
(if you do the wider version of sleeves, budget an extra skein of yarn)

  • 8 mm circular needles, 24”-36” cord
  • 6 mm circular needles, 24”-36” cord (you can use this as the cable needle)
  • Optional: 25mm buttons
  • Cable needle (I actually use a circular needle of smaller size since stitches don’t fall off as easily

This pattern is suitable for advanced beginners; you should be comfortable with cable knitting. This pattern uses the following techniques: picking up stitches, reading charts, cabling, decreases, three needle bind off, creating bobbles, and knitting in the round. I’ll be posting tutorials on my instagram!
