Tideline Cardigan

Some of us know the exact distance between our front door and the ocean; for me, it’s one hour and ten minutes. If I’m ever feeling out of step with myself, I know just where to go to make things right. Tideline reminds me of the shoreline on my favorite beaches – that spot on the beach where the sand and the sea meet in smooth layers of sandy loam and clear blue waves. This cardigan is designed for a tailored fit in the shoulders and sleeves, but extra room in the body to add a stylish little “swing” to the shape. This cardigan is top-down and seamless! **Skill Level:** Intermediate **Sizes:** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) * Designed to fit: S/M (M/L, L/XL, 2/3X, 4/5X, 6/7X) * Pattern is designed with a tailored fit in the neck, shoulders and arms, with extra ease in the body for a relaxed, swingy fit **Yarn** * Heavy fingering weight | [Ancient Arts Lascaux Fine (link)][1] | 25% Manx Loaghtan Wool / 75% Punta Arenas Wool | 385 yards (350 meters) per 100 grams * Color 1 (light) – 326 (354, 385, 416, 449, 485) yards * Color 2 (dark) – 1100 (1188, 1283, 1386, 1497, 1616) yards * Pictured: Denim and Irish Linen **Needles** * US Size 3 (3.25 mm) 32-40 in (80-100 cm) [circular needles (link)][2] and 12 in (30 in) circular needles or DPNs – body and sleeves * US Size 2 (2.75 mm) 24-32 in (60-80 cm) [circular needles (link)][3] – neckline and button band **Gauge** * Approximately 24 sts and 34 rows in 4 in (10 cm) in stockinette, blocked * Note: Adjust your needle size, if necessary, to obtain correct gauge. **Notions** * 10 mm Buttons (desired quantity) * Needle and thread (to attach buttons) * Tapestry needle for weaving ends * [Blocking pins (link)][4], [blocking mat (link)][5] **Finished Measurements (blocked)** * Meant to be worn with about 5-10 inches positive ease for a swingy fit in the body (and a closer fit in the sleeves) * **Bust –** 39.25 (47.75, 51.25, 58, 62.25, 71) in/ 98.25 (119.25, 128.25, 145, 155.5, 177.5) cm – buttoned * **Sleeve Circumference –** 11.75 (14, 14.25, 16.25, 18.75, 18.75) inches/29.25 (35, 35.75, 40.75, 46.75, 46.75) cm * **Yoke Depth – ** 9 (10, 10.25, 10.25, 12, 12.75) in/22.25 (24.75, 26, 26, 30.25, 31.75) cm * **Length of Lower Body from Underarm –** 15 (15, 15, 16, 17, 18) in/38 (38, 38, 40.75, 43.25, 45.75) cm *This page includes affiliate links [1]: https://ancientartsfibre.com/search?type=product&q=Lascaux+Fine [2]: https://shrsl.com/4rm5t [3]: https://shrsl.com/4rm5t [4]: https://amzn.to/3u3hTSq [5]: https://amzn.to/3Ie6Qeq
