Rebel Rebel

> Love this pattern? Every week, I send a short, chatty email about what I'm making, what I'm thinking, and what's coming next. [**Sign up for the > Truly Myrtle Mini-Mag!**][1] – it's like a letter from the friend who designed this.✨ Sometimes, you've got to do what your heart desires, even if it's loud, crazy and a bit wild. Rebel Rebel is a fingering-weight cardigan perfect for that splash of electric colour your fingers (and your heart) have been itching to cast on. Go on, rebel a little. Go bright, go crazy, go speckled yarn, go angled-neckline, cute boxy shape, hidden pockets, three-quarter sleeves and split garter cuffs! Rebel Rebel is fantastic over jeans, skirts, leggings and dresses (even torn dresses). She's a brilliant layering piece and oh-so-soft and comfortable. (Because, even though she's a rebel, she's a super-comfy rebel.) Knitted in one piece from the top down, with front bands worked as you go, Rebel Rebel is a simple knit, perfect for experienced knitters and adventurous beginners. Welcome to your wild side! **FINISHED MEASUREMENTS** To fit bust 30 [32, 34, 36, 38, 40] {42, 44, 46, 48, 50} (52, 54, 56, 58)"/76 [81.5, 86.5, 91.5, 96.5, 101.5] {106.5, 112, 117, 122, 127} (132, 137, 142, 147.5) cm Finished shoulder width 19.25 [19.5, 19.75, 20.25, 20.75, 21] {21.75, 22, 22.5, 23, 23.75} (24, 25.25, 25.5, 26)" / 48 [49, 49.5, 50.5, 52, 53] {54.5, 55, 56, 57.5, 59} (60, 63, 64, 65) cm Sample shown is finished shoulder width 20.25"/51.5 cm on 36"/91.5 cm bust with approx 6.25"/16 cm ease at the shoulder.
