DESCRIPTION
This cardigan is worked top down in boucle yarn in stocking stitches and has a positive ease of 4-8 cm /2.5-3 inches. There are pockets in each front. The pockets are optional. All bands are worked in silk-merino yarn and stocking stitches and folded and sewn to the wrong side. The neckband is shaped by changing needle sizes. The cardigan is closed with hooks. Be prepared to work a bit more slowly than your usual speed of knitting. Then you will catch this wild yarn well. It is also hard to count the rounds in this yarn. We recommend you keep a note book at hand and make a note for every round made to keep track of the process.
