The Lolita Cardigan is designed to be the perfect layer for the seasonal transitions.
The main body is knitted with delightful 100% brushed alpaca yarn on large needles, which will create a drapey, airy, extra soft and light as a feather fabric which will both provide warmth thanks to the fluffy alpaca, as well as not being too hot due to the large size of the stitches. The cuffs, hem and neckline are then knitted with a very soft and plushy 100% Merino DK, with two strands held together to add a very stretchy and squishy structure to the final piece to add longevity and ease of wear, and to provide the cardignan with the cropped and bubble shaped look.
Whilst knitting the cardigan, you can choose between two options, The Spring (Light version) and the Autumn (Heavy) version.
The Spring version holds only one strand of Alpaca for the body, which provides a slight see through fabric and delicate finish, whilst the Autumn version holds two strands, providing a much warmer, cushier fabric for the cooler months.
The cardigan is knitted bottom up back and forth and the sleeves are knitted in the round.
