CONSTRUCTION
The Eve Cardigan is a chunky, drop-sleeve cardigan with a simple cable design on each sleeve. The cardigan is knit either seamlessly or with very minimal seaming starting from the bottom up. Stitches are picked up for the sleeves and knit in the round using the magic loop method or short circular needles.

GAUGE
4” x 4”/10cm x 10cm = 7 stitches and 12 rows in stockinette stitch

Always block your swatch! This gauge is after wet-blocking and laying flat to dry. Superwash merino/alpaca yarns grow slightly after blocking
If your gauge is tighter (more stitches/rows per inch/cm) then consider switching to larger needles or knitting a size up
If your gauge is looser (less stitches/rows per inch/cm) then consider switching to smaller needles or knitting a size down. This cardigan is intended to fit relaxed, so you may be fine to continue even if your gauge is slightly looser
