Capsa

***This cardigan was inspired by the warm and cozy feeling that I get when I smell smoked paprika, my favorite spice. The word 'Capsa', the root of paprika's name in Latin capsicum, means box, which perfectly describes the shape of this garment. ***The Winfield yarn, with its delightful texture and sturdy structure, is the perfect choice for a cozy, everyday cardigan. This design is not just about style, but also about practicality, making it your go-to for any relaxed day.*** ***Embark on a journey of creativity and skill as you knit this cardigan with its unique sideways construction and captivating geometric elements!*** **Sizes:** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5)(6, 7, 8) to fit chest circumference of 32-36 (36-40, 40-44, 44-48, 48-52)(52-56, 56-60, 60-64)" or 81-91.5 (91.5-101.5, 101.5-112, 112-122, 122-132)(132-142, 142-152.5, 152.5-162.5)cm with 6-10" of positive ease sample shown is Size 2 modeled on a person with 34"/86cm bust circumference and 5’2"/157.5cm height **Finished measurements:** chest circumference of 42 (46, 50, 54, 58)(62, 66, 70)" or 107 (117, 127, 137, 147.5)(157.5, 167.5, 178)cm **Yarn:** Sweet Paprika Winfield, worsted weight, 100% Canadian wool, 245 yards / 224 meters per 120g, sample knit in Sugar Maple colorway 4 (5, 5, 6, 6)(7, 7, 8) skeins **Yardage:** 955 (1070, 1190, 1315, 1440)(1570, 1705, 1845) yards 875 (980, 1090, 1200, 1315)(1435, 1560, 1685) meters **Gauge:** 16 sts x 32 rows in stitch pattern (see Page 3) = 4"/10 cm after wet blocking, unstretched **Needles:** * 2 of 32"/80 cm circular needles in size needed to obtain gauge (recommended size is US 8 / 5 mm) * spare circular needle in the same size as gauge needles **Notions:** Crochet hook, tapestry needle, stitch markers, scrap yarn **Skills required:** Crochet Provisional Cast On, making increases and decreases, German Short Rows, picking up sts, Three Needle Bind Off > **Financial Accessibility:** The pattern’s full price is $9.50, and to > make it more affordable for more > people, I have set up three discount > tiers.
