Stjerneskud

**Stjerneskud Cardigan** was created for **Knit Stars 5**, which features a complete video class on the Ziggurat construction. > [You can get the Ziggurat Masterclass here][2] ::For Knit Stars knitters a bonus mini cardigan is included – size 4 years:: A Ravelry pattern for Sizes 2–7 years is available [here][3]. Like all Ziggurats, *Stjerneskud* is knitted top down with contiguous sleeve caps and built-in front bands. Elegantly seamless, and designed specifically with knitters new to Ziggurating in mind, Stjerneskud is a stylish, wearable cardigan on which to learn the method. To this end the cardigan features the steps and details common to other Ziggurats. Your cardigan will have beautiful drape, overlapping fronts, no buttons, and a squarish, almost swingy shape that is easy to wear. Tailored, 3/4-length sleeves make a quiet but distinct statement with a sweet keyhole cuff (photo tutorial in the pattern). An optional gather at centre back lends a little bit of extra ease. Wear it as final touch to a more formal outfit or throw it on to jeans or over a comfortable dress. **To fit ‘standard’ sizes** 81 (86, 91, 97, 102) [107, 112, 117, 127, 137] cm 32 (34, 36, 38, 40) [42, 44, 46, 48/50, 52/54]” **Garment** Bust measurements Caravan cardigan (with optional gather in back): 91.5 (91.5, 99, 104, 111) [116, 121, 124, 141.5, 151.5] cm 36 (36, 39, 41, 43.75) [45.75, 47.75, 48.75, 55.75, 59.75]“ Blend cardigan (no gather in back) 86 (89, 96, 101, 107.5) [112.5, 117.5, 121, 137.5, 147.5] cm 33.75 (35, 37.75, 39.75, 42.25) [44.25, 46.25, 47.75, 54.25 58]“ This includes a 5–6 cm / 2” overlap of fronts **Gauge** 24 sts x 32 rows on 3.5 mm (US 4) over stocking stitch = 10cm / 4” **Yarn requirements** (with 15% security): Crave Yarn Caravan: 3 (3, 3, 3, 4) 4, 4, 4, 4, 5 skeins (à 100g) Rohrspatz & Wollmeise Blend: 2 (2, 2, 2, 3) 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 skeins (à 150g) **Approximate yardage** (with 15% security) Crave Yarn Caravan: 850 (850, 900, 1000, 1050) [1100, 1150, 1150, 1350, 1500] m 950 (950, 1000, 1100, 1150) [1200, 1250, 1250, 1500, 1650] yds Rohrspatz & Wollmeise Blend: 850 (850, 950, 1000, 1050) [1100, 1150, 1200, 1400, 1500] m 950 (950, 1050, 1100, 1150) [1200, 1250, 1300, 1550, 1650] yds ***Note:*** *if you wish to add length to either sleeves and/or the cropped length, you will need more yarn than indicated* **Samples** Caravan cardigan weighs 315g Blend cardigan weighs 311g **Helpful links** to techniques used in the pattern * [Crochet Cast On][4] * [German Short Rows][5] * [Japanese short rows][6] (for bust darts – note: a special tutorial for bust darts on a cardigan comes with the pattern) * [ksk edging][7] * [M1R/M1L][8] *To find out what else is up my knitted sleeve, you may sign up for the occasional [Åsa Tricosa Newsletter][9]* [1]: https://knitstars.com/get-asas-workshop-ref/?ref=483 [2]: https://knitstars.com/get-asas-workshop-ref/?ref=483 [3]: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/stjerneskud-kiddos [4]: https://asatricosa.com/crochet-cast-on/ [5]: https://asatricosa.com/german-short-rows/ [6]: https://asatricosa.com/japanese-short-rows/ [7]: https://asatricosa.com/ksk/ [8]: https://asatricosa.com/m1r/ [9]: https://asatricosa.com/newsletter
