The cardigan is designed with 15-30 cm/5.91-11.81 inches of positive ease, but if a tighter or looser fit is desired, you can go up or down a size. The recommendation is to aim for a wide positive ease in the smaller sizes and a narrower positive ease in the larger sizes.

Work with 1 strand of each yarn held together throughout.
7 (7) 7 (7) 7 (7) 8 (8) 8 buttons. Recommended size 15-20 mm.
Recommended needles: The cardigan is knitted in a double-height moss stitch pattern back and forth on 4 mm/US 6 circular needles (80 cm/32 inches).
It is recommended to have 2 circular needles of 4 mm/US 6 so that the stitches that need to rest can be placed on one needle while knitting with the other, but you can also use a string or a stitch wire instead.
The ribbed edges on the neckline, armhole, body, and along the button bands are knitted on 3 mm/US 2.5 circular needles (80 cm/32 inches).
It is recommended to use Magic Loop method for knitting the sleeves and the ribbed edges on the sleeves. If you do not use the Magic Loop method, you will also need 1 circular needle of 4 mm/US 6 (40 cm/16 inches) and 1 circular needle of 3 mm/US 2.5 (40 cm/16 inches).
Gauge: 18 sts x 26 rows = 10 x 10 cm (4x4 inches) on 4 mm/ US 6 needles, knitted back and forth in double-height moss stitch pattern.
Procedure: The cardigan is knitted from the top down, starting with the ribbed neckline. On the yoke, increases are made on each side of three shoulder stitches on each side. The yoke is first knitted with short rows to shape the neckline, then worked back and forth until the cardigan reaches the correct width, at which point the shoulder increases stop. The front pieces and back piece are then knitted separately until the armhole depth is correct. From here, the work is joined, and the body is knitted back and forth. Stitches are picked up along the armhole for the sleeves. The sleeves extend to just before the wrist but can be adjusted to the desired length, as can the body. The button bands of the cardigan are knitted on once the cardigan itself is finished.
Please Note:
The price of the yarn kit is calculated based on the amount of yarn included, which is the amount we have used to knit the design according to the above measurements. Should you need more yarn, additional yarn can be purchased at regular prices by placing an order and state lot number in the comment box at checkout. All designs have been thoroughly calculated and tested.
ABOUT PATTERNS FROM ÖNLING
In 95% of all kits from Önling, you get a digital pattern and yarn when you buy a kit. Read more about how to get hold of your digital knitting pattern here.
In very few cases, however, we provide a printed pattern rather than a digital one:
- When you buy a kit for ALL designs from PetiteKnit's, you will receive a printed, pattern together with your yarn, as we are unfortunately not allowed to sell Petite Knits' patterns digitally.
- When you buy a kit for a design from selected books (e.g. Helga Isager), you sometimes have to buy the book separately, in cases where the patterns are not released to be sold separately. It will always be clearly described in the product title, with for example "xx kit, excluding pattern", when the pattern is not included.
- All patterns from Isager are delivered as a printed pattern, as we do not have access to sell these digitally. You will receive your pattern along with your yarn shipment.
Wool can last for years, but it requires good care. Washing is tough on your woolen garments and in general wool needs to be washed much less than other materials as it has a self-cleaning effect.
