The Bubble Cardigan

*This colorful cardigan is knit top-down with fingering weight yarn. The boxy silhouette has an oversized fit with drop shoulders. You can customize the length of the body and sleeves to fit your proportions. The cuffs and collar are worked last with a contrasting shade of wool. Gather a colorful pile of colors and make those bubbles pop!* *Learn how to knit the Bubble Stitch with [this video tutorial][1].* **Sizes** XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) **Finished Measurements** 39 (42, 46, 51, 54, 57, 62.5, 66, 69)" / 99 (107, 117, 130, 137, 145, 159, 168, 175)cm finished chest circumference.

Yardage may vary depending on the length of your sleeves and body of the sweater. 7 skeins/colors of fingering weight yarn (100g each skein) is enough for the XS – XL bubbles (MC). I recommend having at least 8 skeins/colors for the 2XL – 5XL sizes for your MC bubbles. 2 skeins of fingering weight yarn (100g each) is enough yarn for the CC collar & cuffs for all sizes. **Shown in** **Green Peach Sample** West Wool Bicycle MC - 10 colorways.
