Karla Cape

**KARLA CAPE** The cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down. First, the back yoke is worked, and then short rows are worked across the shoulders to create a perfect fit. The fronts are worked similarly after the back yoke is completed. The back and front yoke pieces are joined at the underarms to form the body, which is worked back and forth to the hem. After this, stitches are picked up and knitted for the neck edge, which is worked back and forth, and then the front edges are worked the same way. At the end, stitches are picked up and knitted along the armholes for the sleeves, which are worked with short rows along the top part to optimize the fit. All edges are worked in twisted rib and bound off using the Italian bind-off technique. **Sizes** Sizes: 1 (2) 3 (4) 5 Sweater chest circumference: 120 (127) 143 (150) 165 cm Length 1: 75 (75) 75 (75) 75 cm Length 2: 82 (82) 82 (82) 82 cm It varies from person to person how much positive ease you like in your clothes. It can be a good idea to measure some of your favorite cardigans to help you choose the perfect size for you. I have 37 cm of positive ease in the light version of KARLA CAPE which is length 1. I have 60 cm of positive ease in the caramel colored version, which is also length 1. **Needles** Circular needles: 4.5 mm and 5 mm, 40 and 80/120 cm) Two 5 mm circular needles for Judy’s Magic Cast On **Gauge** 16 sts x 26 rows in PATTERN on a 5 mm needle = 10 x 10 cm **Materials** Version 1 (light main color with dark pattern) Length 1 Color A: 350 (400) 450 (500) 550 g Isager Eco Soft in color E0 (54 % alpaca, 44 % organic pima cotton; 125 m/50 g) 200 (200) 250 (250) 300 g Isager Tvinni in color 0 (100 % pure new wool; 255 m/50 g) - one strand of each yarn is held together throughout Color B: 100 (100) 100 (150) 150 g Isager Eco Soft in color E4s (54 % alpaca, 44 % organic pima cotton; 125 m/50 g) 50 (50) 50 (100) 100 g Isager Tvinni in color 4s (100 % pure new wool; 255 m/50 g) - one strand of each yarn is held together throughout 10 buttons (the ones I’ve used are 4 cm long) Length 2 Additional yarn required for extra length on the body Color A: 50 (50) 50 (50) 50 g Isager Eco Soft Color B: - (-) - (15) 15 g Isager Eco Soft 11 buttons (the ones I’ve used are 4 cm long) Version 2 (caramel main color with light pattern) Color A: Isager Eco Soft in color 7s held together with Isager Tvinni in color 7s Color B: Isager Eco Soft in color E0 held together with Isager Tvinni in color 0 > **Knitting support** Please write to support@anneventzel.com if you need > knitting support.
