Aspen Cardigan

This is a saddle-shoulder cardigan, knitting from the top down. Featuring a minimal silhouette, it tapers slightly at the waist. The sleeves are 9/10 length with ribbing just above the wrists. The small colour-work at the sleeve ends adds a touch of spice. This is a thick cardigan that can also a jacket in spring or fall. ► Construction Create a saddle-shoulder yoke starting from the neckband and continue until before separating sleeves. Once sleeves are separated, finish the body first, and then proceed to make the sleeves. Complete the piece by creating a plump button band on both fronts. The length of both the body and the sleeves can be adjusted. ► Ease level : Positive ease about 15 -20 cm on chest ► Size directions : 1 (2, 3, 4) (5, 6) Chest circumference about 100 (110, 120, 130) (140, 150) cm Sample size is 2. ► Needles : 4.0 mm (US6) 32-40" circular needles 4.5 mm (US7) 32-40" circular needles, a set of double pointed needles 5.0 mm (US8) 16", 40" circular needles (main needles) ► Yarn : Worst weight : 730 (845, 995, 1185) (1370, 1580) meters Sample yarn : DK & Lace mohair held together Light Grey Main colour : La Bien Aimée-Merino DK (115 g / 230 m), Quail & Gepard Kid Seta (25 g / 210 m), Light Grey (408) held together Pink Main colour : La Bien Aimée-Corrie Confetti (100 g / 230 m), Aimée's peach sweater & white mohair held together Contrasting colour : From the stash about 3 (3, 3, 4) (4, 5) meters ► Gauge : 18 stitches X 24 rows equal 10 x 10 cm (4 x 4 inches) in Stockinette stitch using 5.0 mm (US8), measured after washing and blocking. ► Notions : 5 markers, a tapestry needle, 5 (5, 5, 6) (6, 6) buttons (about 2 cm)
