This is a beautiful, relaxed wrap cardigan with long sleeves. Perfect to wear for a night at the ballet or anywhere where an extra beautiful layer might be needed…
The main body is work downwards from chest level so the cardigan can easily be made longer or shorter if desired. The sleeves are also worked downwards from the shoulders meaning they can be easily adjusted and made ¾ length or longer as desired.

Materials:
• I used a beautiful yarn advent by ‘hook and cwtch’ for my cardigan pictured which contained mini skeins of deluxe hand dyed 4-ply sock weight yarn in 85% merino wool / 15% nylon. For the small/medium size pictured I used approximately 21 x 20g mini skeins but not every skein was used in its entirety due to colour matching across both sleeves. In total 350g was used to make my cardigan which is the equivalent of approximately 17.5 x 20g mini skeins. Larger skeins of yarn could be used so long as you have approximately 350g / 1400 metres of yarn for the small/medium size. Quantities needed for the larger sizes are in the pattern.
• You can use any 4-ply (sock/fingering) weight smooth yarn to achieve a similar effect.
• 3.5mm (US E/4) hook (or hook size to match tension), stitch marker, yarn needle and scissors. Two small buttons are optional for closing the cardigan as a wrap.
