Ebony Cardigan

This is a top-down, raglan cardigan with 2 pockets in front. The button band widens around the neck using German short-rows, making it cozier to wear. The small fun accents are welts made of contrasting colour at the back of the neck and the cuff of the sleeves. To create subtle harmony of welts, the main yarn of the same colour was mixed with mohair of a contrasting colour. ► Skill Level : 2/5 ► Positive ease, relaxed fit ► Size directions : 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6) Chest circumference 96.5 (106.5, 117.5, 129.5) (141.5, 152.5) cm Sample size is 2. ► Needles : 4.5 mm (US7) 32 or 40" circular needle, 16 or 24" circular needle, or a set of double pointed needles 4.0 mm (US6) 32 or 40" circular needle, a set of double pointed needles ► Yardage & Yarn : Heavy DK or Fingering & Lace mohair held together Main colour : 768 (885, 1000, 1100) (1200, 1316) meters Contrasting colour : 70 (75, 80, 95) (108, 112) meters Sample yarn info : Biches & Bûches Le Petit Lambswool (fingering) & Biches & Bûches Le Petit Silk & Mohair (lace) held together MC (main colour) : Dark grey (merino) & Dark grey brown (mohair) CC (contrasting colour) : Dark grey (merino) & Red brown (mohair) ► Gauge : 20 stitches X 26 rows equal 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inches) in Stockinette stitch, measured after washing and blocking. 24 stitches X 30 rows in 1 x 1 Rib stitch ► Notions : 8 markers, a tapestry needle, 5 buttons (about 1.7 -2 cm)
