Fluffy, warm and self-indulgent - Lika a Croissant is the cozy cardigan that will make your blankets jealous. With the fitted back and sleeves in stockinette and the big drapey brioche fronts it is perfect for enjoying cozy evenings on the couch.

These are pattern-ized notes on how I knit my cardigan - therefore it is only written in one size. My measurements are included in the pattern so that you can make changes in the fit based on them.

Yarn:
I knit my cardigan in my own handspun yarn. It is 3ply, DK weight, 100% Blue faced Leicester wool in a natural oatmeal color.
It took about 1080.0 meters (1181.1 yards) / 570 grams.

Gauge:
On a 3,5 mm circular needle my gauge was:
Brioche stitch - 14 sts = 10 cm
Stockinette stitch - 16 sts = 10 cm

My measurements:
Length - 159 cm
Bust - 92 cm
Waist - 80 cm
Hip - 96 cm
