Marlo Cardigan

We are delighted to present the stunning Marlo Cardigan, designed at the Atelier by Astrid with Le Petit Organic Cotton and Le Petit Silk & Mohair held together throughout, in slightly different nuances creating subtle color blendings. Marlo is designed as the comfy Cardigan you love to reach for, feel cosy in, in the cooler Autumn/ Winter Weather, all the while looking chic and elevated, with its large button band, rib edges, contrasting buttons and modern shoulder construction. We chose Le Petit Organic Cotton which adds a heavier weight to the garment – which you can easily switch for Le Petit Lambswool – held together with Le Petit Silk & Mohair throughout, creating a lovely halo and adding a luxurious and warm touch. **Construction** Marlo cardigan is oversized and worked flat in stockinette stitch from the bottom up. The front parts and the back are worked flat in one piece to the armholes and then separately. The sleeves are worked from the bottom up in the round and sewn onto the body. The front borders and collar are then worked. **The original Yarn** Biches & Bûches Le Petit Organic Cotton and Le Petit Silk & Mohair held together throughout **Quantity** Sizes: XS (S, M, L) (XL, 2XL) Le Petit Organic Cotton: 4 (4, 4, 5) (5, 6) skeins Le Petit Silk & Mohair: 6 (6, 6, 7) (7, 9) skeins **Buttons** 7 Galalith Buttons (Ø20mm) **Knitting Needles (suggested)** - Circular needles 3.5 mm / US 4 / UK 9 1/2 - for main fabric - Circular needles 3 mm / US 2 1/2 / UK 11 - for ribbing **Gauge** 20 sts and 28 rows/rounds = 10cm [4"] in stockinette stitch using 1 strand of each quality held together **Sizes & Measurements of the finished knit** Sizes: XS (S, M, L) (XL, 2XL) Chest circumference of the finished knit 119 (127, 135, 145) (155, 165) cm 46.75 (50, 53.25, 57) (61, 65) inches Armhole 14.5 (15, 16.5, 18) (19.5, 21) cm 5.75 (6, 6.5, 7.25) (7.75, 8.25) inches Total length 50.5 (53, 57.5, 59) (60, 64) cm 20 (21.5, 22.75, 23.5) (24, 25.25) inches Sleeve lenght 43 (44, 46, 44) (42, 42) cm 17 (17.5, 17.75, 17.25) (16.5, 16.5) inches **How to wash** Always handwash and lay flat to dry — Handle with care and make sure to stretch your knit to measurements while wet.
