With its striking cable-look stitches and relaxed fit, this design feels just as good as it looks. It offers multiple length options for every size, two collar variations, and different ribbing styles, giving you the freedom to customise your perfect cardigan. Switch up the yarn, adjust the fit, or play with the details, and you’ll find yourself creating a completely new piece each time. I named it “Chai Latte” because it feels like your favourite warm drink: cosy, soothing, and perfect for slow mornings or breezy evenings. **Sizing:** Because of the construction of this Cardigan, this pattern does not come with standard measurements but with a given set of width/length combinations possible. For the circumference of the pullover at the bust: 84 (112,140,168, 196) cm For each size, you can pick amongst 4 length options (from cropped to oversized length): 40 (48,55,67) m **Yarn & Yardage** Sport Weight yarn. I used Metropolis by Scheepjes (50g=180 m, 75% Extra Fine Merino Wool x 25% Nylon) in colour Nice. Length L1 (high-hip): 1320(1540,1630)(1850,2080)m Length L2 (high-hip): 1400(1600,1820)(2120,2330)m Length L3 (oversized): 1680(1970,2260)(2640,2920)m Length L4 (oversized): 1890(2235,2580)(3030,3370)m To hold two strands of yarn together, I recommend two strands of lace yarn. For example: Lana Grossa Cool Wool Lace (50g=400 m, 100% merino) and Mayflower Super Kid Silk (25g=195m, 76% mohair, 24% silk). The yardage is here reported for each size as [Lana Grossa Cool Wool Lace m, Mayflower Super Kid Silk m].

These panels are crocheted lengthwise. The shaping of the collar is obtained by skipping braid repeats. These three panels are seamed together at the shoulder. Sleeves panels are crocheted separately and sewn onto the body. The sleeves are also crocheted lengthwise, using different braid motifs for better shaping. The sides are seamed. The bottom ribbing, button bands, collar ribbing, and cuffs are then added to finish the garment. **Hooks** Body: 5 mm crochet hook Ribbing: 4 mm crochet hook **Gauge:** 5 mm hook Gauge: 10 cm x 10 cm in pattern (blocked) = 15 rows X 17 sts Pattern for Gauge: alternate rows of blo slst sts, and blo hdc sts **Notions** Needles, Buttons, Tape measure, Stitch Markers, Scissors, Blocking set.
