The Cinnamon Twist Cardigan is knitted in the flat with 6 mm needles, and with 3 and 4 mm needles for the rib parts. The back piece is a real showstopper with a decorative cable pattern and two simple twisted cables on each side. The simple twisted cables repeat on both front pieces and sleeves, too.

The cardigan is knitted with one strand of Silk Mohair or Brushed Alpaca Silk yarn, together with a strand of blown Alpaca mix yarn to give the piece it’s beautiful texture.

Size guide
The Cinnamon Twist Cardigan has a dropped shoulder and a cropped fit. If you wish the cardigan to be longer, simply repeat the Cable 2 chart pattern (the fancy cable in the back) one more time, and add a fitting amount of Cable 1 chart patterns to the back and front pieces for added length.

All the sizes have a positive ease of approx 15 cm compared to your actual bust circumference. When choosing what size to knit, measure around your bust (or where you are the widest) and choose the size that fits your bust circumference the closest. So, for example, if your bust circumference is 88 cm, knit size S.

Pattern
