Rustic Weave Cardigan

The tightly woven cable stitches create a charming and cozy feel, while the background is designed with flatter stitches for contrast. **CONSTRUCTION** The cardigan is worked top-down, starting from the neckline. Shoulder shaping is created first using short rows, followed by the yoke. The sleeves are then separated at the underarm, and the body is worked flat. The resting sleeve stitches are worked in the round. Stitches are picked up along the front edges to create the button band. Finally, stitches are picked up along the neckline to knit the neckband. **SIZES** 2XS (XS, S, M, L) XL (2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL) Here are the sample details for the photos: * Very light pink & Very dark grey: Size S * Light brown: Size M * Beige: Size 5XL The model in the photos has a bust measurement of approximately 88 cm (34.6 inches). **GAUGE** 16 stitches and 25 rows / Large needles / Double moss stitch / 10 x 10 cm [4x4”] / after blocking. **YARN** Biches & Bûches Le Gros Lambswool (100% Lambswool, 100g / 192m) 6 (7, 7, 7, 7) 8 (8, 9, 9, 9) skeins or 1088 (1159, 1244, 1267, 1321) 1396 (1460, 1555, 1621, 1683) m / 1190 (1268, 1361, 1386, 1445) 1527 (1597, 1701, 1773, 1841) yd of Aran - Bulky weight yarn. **NEEDLES** Large: US 9 (5.5mm) - 32-40” / 80-100 cm circular needles for the body, 16” / 40cm circular needles for the sleeves.
