Tulip Farm Cardigan

Garment is meant to be worn oversized with wide sleeves. When choosing a size, first measure your bust then add the intended 8-12” of positive ease. For example, the model in the picture is a 38” bust and is therefore wearing a size M which measures 46.5” in body circumference. Sizes XS-XL will need 7 button that measure 1" and sizes 2XL-5XL will need 8 buttons that measure 1". **Gauge:** 20 sts X 28 rows = 4”/10cm in stockinette, 20 sts X 25 rounds = 4”/10cm in colorwork. Gauge is measured after blocking.

MC represents the sky, CC1 represents the first flower, CC2 represents the stem and leaves, CC3 represents the dirt, CC4 represents the second flower, CC5 represents the third flower, CC6 represents the fourth flower worked only on the sleeves. Colors used in pattern sample// MC: Dove Blue, CC1: Light Yellow, CC2: Medium Green Grey, CC3: Dark Gold, CC4: Medium Red, CC5: Off White, CC6: Dark Burgundy Grey. Colors MC, CC2, and CC3 are worked using a worsted-weight yarn while CC1, CC4, CC5 and CC6 are worked using a fingering-weight yarn held double. If a worsted-weight yarn is used for every color, divide the yardage/meterage for CC1, CC4, CC5 and CC6 in half. If a fingering-weight yarn is to be used throughout the whole garment, then double the total yardage/meterage for MC, CC2, and CC3. **Measurements (XS, S, M, L, XL), {2XL, 3XL, 4XL, 5XL}:** A: Body circumference (37, 41.75, 46.5, 51.5, 56.25), {58.5, 63.5, 68.25, 73}”/(92.5, 104.5, 116.5, 129, 140.5), {146.5, 158.5, 170.5, 182.5}cm B: Underarm to hem 14”/35cm (all sizes) C: Sleeve length (20, 18.8, 17.6, 16.4, 15.4), {15.2, 15.2, 15.2, 15.2}”/(50, 47, 44, 41, 38.5), {38, 38, 38, 38}cm D: Sleeve circumference (16.75, 19.25, 19.25, 21.5, 21.5), {24, 24, 26.5, 28.75}”/(42, 48, 48, 54, 54), {60, 60, 66, 72}cm
