Siltenis

> This design is available exclusively > in my new book. [GET “Nordic Textures > in Crochet Garments”][1] now - > releasing June 20, 2026. This is a design of pure utility and quiet sophistication. Siltenis is an open-front cardigan that prioritizes a seamless flow, ensuring that the warmth is never interrupted by bulky seams. It is an ”architectural hug,” built to move with you through the domestic landscape. Through incorporating the pockets and ribbing directly into the construction, the design maintains a clean, modern silhouette that belies its rustic, utilitarian roots. **Sizes** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) **Finished bust (upper part without cuffs)** 47.25 (51.25, 55.25, 59, 63) (67, 70.75, 74.75, 78.75)’’ / 120 (130, 140, 150, 160) (170, 180, 190, 200) cm **To fit bust** 30 (33.75, 38.25, 42.25, 46) (50, 54, 57.75, 61.75)’’ / 76 (86, 97, 107, 117) (127, 137, 147, 157) cm Designed to fit with approx 15–19’’ / 38-48 cm of positive ease **Materials** DK weight yarn, CYC #3 (Light) Hobbii Winter Glow (51% virgin wool, 49% acrylic), 765 yds / 700 m per 200-g ball, or use other DK weight wool blend to achieve a similar effect Color 10 (Sand / Rose / Powder Pink / Camel) **Estimated yardage / meterage** 1885 (2050, 2240, 2405, 2595) (2815, 2980, 3200, 3420) yds / 1725 (1875, 2050, 2200, 2375) (2575, 2725, 2925, 3125) m **Gauge** 19 sts and 16 rows = 4’’ / 10 cm over main stitch pattern **Hooks** H/8 / 5 mm for the body of cardigan, or size needed to obtain gauge 7 / 4.5 mm for ribbings, or one size smaller than your main gauge hook **Notions** Tapestry needle, 2 stitch markers, 5 pins **Skills required** Ability to read and understand a written crochet pattern according to CYC guidelines.
