Garter Pression

**Garter Pression** is a modern staple inspired by timeless French chic. This top-down, boxy cardigan features a clean crew neck and a rhythmic garter stitch body. To add a touch of sophistication, the sleeves are worked in Andalusian stitch, creating a beautiful textural contrast. With a simple, straight construction, it’s the perfect canvas to showcase your favorite yarn and iconic snap buttons. **Sizes XS ( S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL )** **MATERIALS** Yarn & Yardage Option 1: Two strands held Together Holst Garn Supersoft (50% Merino, 50% Shetland | 287m / 50 g) Color: Comfrey Meters: 1600 (1720, 1950, 2150, 2450, 2750, 3050) m Yards: 1750 (1880, 2130, 2350, 2680, 3000, 3340) yd Skeins (50g): 6 (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11) skeins Option 2: Single strand Yarnsmiths Pebble Haze DK (67% Cotton, 33% Acrylic | 145 m / 50 g) Color: 190 C Porphyry Meters: 740 (810, 890, 970, 1080, 1210, 1320) m Yards: 810 (890, 970, 1060, 1180, 1320, 1440) yd Skeins (50g): 6 (6, 7, 7, 8, 9, 10) skeins **Needle** Main Body: 4.0 mm (US 6) circular needles, 80 cm (32") or longer.
