Nordlig Cardigan

*Nordlig means Northern and it got it's name because it's the perfect garment to wear here in the northen part of the world - all year round. It works perfectly for chilly summer nights as a jacket and for the rest of the year as a cozy cardigan.* **Construction** The Nordlig Cardigan has a fun and interesting construction that is actually very intuitive once you start knitting. You just have to follow the numbers according to the drawing and you will get there - a bit like a treasure hunt. The cardigan features an all over brioche pattern, change in knitting direction, short rows, a bit of grafting, buttonholes and ribbing for the hems. **Size** Size 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) / XS (S, M, L, XL) (2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) To fit: 75 (85, 95, 105, 115) (125, 135, 145, 155) cm / 30 (34, 38, 42, 46) (50, 54, 58, 62)” with 20-30 cm / 8-12" of positive ease Shown in size S **Finished measurements** Bust circ.: 104 (116, 119, 126, 138) (148, 159, 168, 176) cm / 41.5 (46.5, 47.5, 50.5, 55) (59, 63.5, 67, 70.5)” Upper arm circ.: 41,5 (45, 47,5, 51,5, 55) (57,5, 61,5, 65, 70) cm / 16.5 (18, 19, 20.5, 22) (23, 24.5, 26, 28)” **Yardage** Grams: 465 (495, 520, 545, 585) (605, 645, 670, 705) Meters: 1280 (1360, 1430, 1500, 1610) (1665, 1775, 1845, 1940) Yards: 1400 (1490, 1565, 1640, 1760) (1820, 1940, 2015, 2120) **Buttons** approx 20 mm / 0.78" in diameter (sample used 22 mm / 0.86" and I wouldn’t recommend any bigger) **Gauge** 16 sts x 20 RS knit column rows (40 working rows) = 10 cm in brioche on 4,5 mm 20 sts = 10 cm in ribbing on 3,5 mm **Needle size** 4,5 mm / US7 for Brioche 4 mm / US6 for Stockinette stitch 3,5 mm / US4 for ribbing
