Mini cardi

**DESCRIPTION** The sweater is worked flat and uses a top-down construction with raglan sleeves. Short rows raise the back neck section. The cardigan is cropped with long sleeves and V-neck; and the front is larger than the back. It gives it more ease and comfort for all sizes. The front will have a slight drape when the cardigan is worn with positive ease. 1/1 rib at the hem, cuff and button bands. All bind-offs use the Italian bind-off method. **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS:** **Chest circumference at the fullest point:** 93 (106.5, 114, 124.5, 135) [144.5, 152, 158, 163.5, 172]cm / 36.75 (42, 45, 49, 53.25) [57, 60, 62.5, 64.5, 67.75]” **GAUGE** 19 stitches x 29 rows = 10cm / 4” over the Mini Cardi chart after blocking, swatched flat on 4mm needles. **NOTIONS:** Stitch markers (6), scrap yarn, buttons (15mm x 5), darning needle **YARN** The cardigan can be worked in DK weight yarn instead of bouclé+silk mohair for a less fluffy effect.
