Soyokaze

***Soyokaze*** - breeze - is a long A-line cardigan with feminine lace pattern on its entire lower body. It is worked from the top down seamlessly with two strands of yarn held together throughout. The collar is worked first in irregular rib with slipped stitch edge (SSE), then stitches are picked up along collar edge for yoke. The front and back are joined at the underarm where sleeve stitches set aside, and the lower body is knit in one piece to the hem with Soyokaze lace pattern which grows in width and length. Sleeves are worked top down in the round. Do not pull yarn too tightly when working SSE. **This pattern is written in English, and has been professionally edited and test knitted.** -------------------------------- **Finished measurements** **Bust circumference (back x 2)** Size XS (S, M, L1)(L2, XL, 2XL, 3XL) = 86.5 (93.5, 101, 108)(115, 123, 130, 137) cm / 34 (36¾, 39¾, 42½)(45¼, 48½, 51¼, 54)” Front bands overlap 4 – 6 cm / 1¾ – 2¼” From underarm to hem: 51 cm / 20” Suggested ease: + 0 – 10 cm / 0 – 4” at bust Sample shown in size XS. **Yarn Total yardage** Lace or light fingering weight + lace weight approximately 1150 (1260, 1380, 1500)(1610, 1730, 1840, 1960) m / 1258 (1378, 1509, 1640)(1761, 1892, 2012, 2143) yds each - **2 yarns should be held together throughout** **Yardage for each yarn** approximately 1150 (1260, 1380, 1500)(1610, 1730, 1840, 1960) m / 1258 (1378, 1509, 1640)(1761, 1892, 2012, 2143) yds BC Garn Jaipur Silk Fino (100% silk, 300 m / 50 g skein) 4 (5, 5, 5)(6, 6, 7, 7) skeins – color 41 H (Olive) Kremke Soul Wool Silky Kid (72% Mohair, 28% Silk, 210 meters / 25 grams skein) 6 (6, 7, 8)(8, 9, 9, 10) skeins – color 086 (Green) *Please keep in mind that yardage is an estimate.* **Needles** One 3.5 mm / US 4 circular needle; 80 cm / 32” or longer – Adjust cable length to fit sts comfortably.
