Nartelle Cardigan

**Nartelle** is a bottom-up cardigan worked in a colorful mosaic stitch pattern, with twisted rib borders and double knitting button bands (because honestly, they're just *that* beautiful). Shoulders are joined with a three-needle bind-off, the neckband is worked in twisted rib, and the sleeves are knit in the round and finished with a tubular bind-off for a clean, comfortable edge that holds its shape over time. The body and sleeves follow a mosaic sequence charted in the pattern, one color at a time, no stranded knitting. The result is bold, textured, and a lot more fun to knit than it looks. **Sizes** XS – S – M – L – XL – 2XL – 3XL – 4XL – 5XL Finished chest: 93 – 97 – 101 – 114 – 124 – 134 – 144 – 154 – 164 cm Positive ease: 7 cm across all sizes **Gauge** 15 sts × 27 rows = 10 × 10 cm in Nartelle stitch pattern (mosaic) On 6 mm needles, always check your gauge. **Yarn** Sample knit in **Silk Mohair** by Copenhagen Fibers / Hobbii 75% Mohair – 25% Silk | Lace weight | held tripled throughout **Yarn quantities (in skeins, held tripled):** | | XS | S | M | L | XL | 2XL | 3XL | 4XL | 5XL | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Color A | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 6 | | Color B | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | 5 | 5 | 6 | 6 | | Color C | 2 | 2 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 4 | Substitutions welcome, match the gauge and triple your yardage if using a single-strand lace weight. **Needles** - 6 mm circular, 80 cm and 40 cm - 4.5 mm circular, 80 cm and 40 cm **Notions** - 5 buttons, 20 mm diameter **Techniques** knit, purl · twisted rib · mosaic stitch · slipping sts wyif / wyib · standard bind-off · tubular bind-off · double knitting (with and without buttonhole) · three-needle bind-off YouTube tutorials linked in the pattern for key techniques. **Language** Pattern available in **English and French**.
