Grace Cardigan

Grace Cardigan is knit top-down. First, the back is worked back and forth. Then stitches are picked up along the cast-on edge of the back for the fronts. The fronts are shaped with increases along the neckline and joined with the back under the armholes, after which the body is worked. Finally, an I-cord edge is worked along the cardigan opening and the armhole is finished with ribbed edges.   **Sizes:** 1 (2) 3 *Corresponds approximately to sizes XS/S/M (L/XL/2XL) 3XL/4XL/5XL*   **Measurements:** Bust circumference: 114 (132) 150 cm Length: 52 (54) 56 cm **Size guide:** The Grace Cardigan is designed with a positive ease of approx. 20–25 cm in size 1. In sizes 2 and 3, the positive ease varies depending on bust measurement and becomes smaller the closer you are to the upper limit of the size range. Sizes 1 (2) 3 correspond to a bust measurement taken on your own body of approx. 84–100 (100–120) 120–140 cm. The measurements of the finished cardigan are stated in the pattern. Note: These measurements only apply if the gauge is correct. Measure yourself before you start knitting to find the size that fits you best. If, for example, you measure 90 cm around your bust (or the widest part of your body), size 1 is recommended. A cardigan in this size has a bust circumference of approx. 114 cm and gives a positive ease of around 24 cm. **Materials:** 150 (150) 175 g Soft Silk Mohair from Tante Grøn (25 g = 210 m) **held together with** 100 (100) 150 g Tweed from Tante Grøn (50 g = 350 m) **or** 150 (200) 250 g Marble or Bio Blomsterfrø from Tante Grøn (50 g = 178 m). *The work is knitted with 3 strands. 2 strands of Silk Mohair held together with 1 strand of Tweed.*   3 (3) 3 dress hooks size 15 mm wide x 9 mm high.
