Carl's Cardigan

Carl’s Cardigan is knit seamlessly from the bottom up, with raglan decreases on the yoke. The body is worked in a smock stitch pattern, while the sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch. The smock stitch pattern is very elastic and will make the cardigan seem much narrower than intended before washing and blocking. After washing and blocking the cardigan will have the right measurements if you have worked at the right gauge. Work a gauge swatch and wash and block it to determine the right needle size before you cast on for the cardigan itself. **Sizes:** 3-6 mo (6-9 mo) 9-12 mo (1-2 yrs) 2-3 yrs (3-4 yrs) 4-5 yrs (5-6 yrs) 6-7 yrs **Bust circumference:** 52 (54) 57 (59) 61 (63) 65 (67) 69 cm (after blocking) **Length:** 27 (28) 29 (32) 35 (37) 39 (40) 43 cm **Gauge:** 28 sts = 10 cm in smock stitch on 4 mm needles (after blocking) 22 sts = 10 cm in stockinette stitch on size 4 mm needles (after blocking) **Suggested needles:** 3 mm and 4 mm / 60 or 80 cm circular needles, 4 mm double pointed needles (dpns) **Materials:** 150 (200) 200 (200) 250 (300) 300 (300) 350 g Alpakka Ull from Sandnes Garn (50 g = 100 m) 5 (5) 5 (5) 6 (6) 6 (6) 6 buttons (ø = 14 mm) **Difficulty:** ★ ★ ★ (3 out of 5) See the classification of difficulty [here][1].
