Designed with an elegant weight and fluid drape, it features a cropped silhouette and a relaxed fit, perfect for layering over dresses or tailored pants.

The model in the picture is 169 cm / 5 ́7” tall and wears a Size 2. **LEVEL** Beginner (1/3) **YARN** Suggestion 1 4 (4, 4, 4, 5) (5, 5, 6) skeins of Sol by Hillesvåg Ullvarefabrikk (100 g = 290 m / 317 yds) (100% Norwegian Wool) and 5 (5, 5, 5, 6) (6, 7, 7) skeins of Soft Silk Mohair by Knitting for Olive (25 g = 225 m / 246 yds) (70% Mohair and 30% Silk). The cardigan is knitted holding two strands together. For the sample, we used Sol in colourway “58449” and Soft Silk Mohair in colourway “Putty/Kit”. Or : BC Garn Semilla Pura (100 g = 350 m /382 yds ) (100% Wool) with any Silk Mohair. Things to Consider When Substituting Gauge: Sol is a DK-weight (light worsted) yarn. Always check the gauge rather than the weight. Even yarns labeled “worsted” or “DK” can knit up differently. Fiber: Sol is 100% Norwegian wool. Please consider choosing preferentially a 100% wool, non superwash. If you choose a yarn with: - Merino or silk blend: Your cardigan may hang more fluidly. - Rustic wool: Your cardigan will feel firmer and more structured; therefore, the result will be stiffer. **NEEDLES** 4 mm / US 6 circular needle, cable length 80 or 100 cm / 32 or 40” for the main body and cable length 40 or 60 cm / 16 or 24” for the sleeves. 3 mm / US 2.5 circular needle, cable length 40 or 60 cm / 16 or 24” for the ribbing or 3 mm / US 2.5 DPN for the cuff ribbing. **GAUGE** After blocking: 19 sts x 28 rows = 10×10 cm / 4×4” on 4 mm / US 6 needles in pattern stitch worked flat. **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8) Please refer to the finished bust circumference and choose the size that will result in a positive ease closest to this recommendation.
