Fall In Cardigan

**DESIGN OVERVIEW** The warm and cosy texture of the seeded rib stitch creates the kind of knitwear you think of when you first feel a chill in the air. Full, playful balloon sleeves create a contrast with the neat finish of the double knitting button band to make the Fall In cardigan the ultimate throw-on. **METHOD** The cardigan is knitted top down, increasing stitches at the front for the v-neck at the same time as the raglan increases. Once the yoke increases are complete, the sleeves are put on hold and it continues down the body. After finishing the body, rejoin the yarn to the sleeves and work in the round to the cuff. The button band is attached to the edge of the cardigan as it is worked in double knitting. **SIZES** 2XS (XS, S, M, L) XL (2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) The seeded rib stitch used in this pattern is incredibly stretchy, so a positive ease of 4”/10cm is recommended. **FINISHED CHEST CIRCUMFERENCE** (Unstretched) Approx. 93 (97, 101, 106, 110) 113 (117, 125, 129, 133) cm Approx. 36.6 (38.2, 39.8, 41.7, 43.3) 44.5 (46.1, 49.2, 50.8, 52.4) in **YARN** Mota from Wooldreamers / DK-Worsted weight / 100g, 230m / Wool 100% 5 (5, 5, 5, 6) 6 (6, 7, 7, 7) balls or 930 (990, 1050, 1120, 1200) 1260 (1310, 1420, 1485, 1560) m or 1020 (1080, 1150, 1230, 1320) 1380 (1440, 1560, 1625, 1710) yards of DK-Worsted weight yarn. **NEEDLES** •Large : 5mm(US8) 40” / 100cm circular needles for the body and 5mm(US8) DPNs (or short circular needles) for sleeves. •Medium : 4.5mm(US7) 40” / 80cm circular needles for the hem and 4.5mm(US7) DPNs (or short circular needles) for the cuff. •Small : 3.25-3.5mm(US3-US5) DPNs for the button band. **GAUGE** 20 sts 27 rows, using the large needles, in seeded rib stitch, 4x4”/10 x 10cm. **YOU WILL ALSO NEED** 4 buttons (23mm), stitch markers, 4 locking stitch markers (to mark buttonholes), darning needle.
