Description
The Design
“In 8 sizes and 2 sleeve lengths!”
A timeless little hip-length cardi always manages to look modern. Ours has classic details: a pretty jewel neckline, knit-along button bands, full- or bracelet-length sleeves—all of which are clearly and expertly described in written instructions and quick guides. You’ll even be able to build (or review) your skills with a special technique: ‘clip & turn’ short row shaping.
We chose two superb fibers for this ultimate cardi. A sleek yarn, like Shibui’s dreamy, (discontinued) offers tailored style. Lightweight mohair, like our favorite Rowan Kidsilk Haze, lends a feminine aura. With this choice of yarn, in eight sizes and with two sleeve lengths, you can make your cardigan just right for you.
This 8 page pattern includes:
- Color photographs by the talented Jared Flood
- A Special Technique—‘clip & turn’ short row shaping
- Step-by-step guides for adjusting body & sleeve lengths, with fill-in-the-blank sections to help with the math
- A wee tutorial on placing buttonholes
- Instructions for swatching for gauge and fabric, and finishing and blocking your garment

KNITTER S NOTES
To be sure your garment turns out the right size, it’s important to swatch until you get the correct gauge. Stitch gauge determines the fit; row gauge affects the length.Cast on 33 sts for a nice big swatch approx. 6 15cm-wide; work in St St for 6 15cm; bind off loosely. Measure and note unblocked gauge for reference when knitting.
Wet block your swatch; let rest for a day or two. Measure again—gauge may change after it relaxes.
Cardigan is worked at 22 sts 30 rows = 4 10cm. Measure center 4 10com of swatch (edge stitches may be distorted).
If you have more sts or rows per cm, your gauge is a little tight; try swatching again on larger needle. If you have fewer sts or rows per cm, your gauge is a little loose; try again on smaller needle.
