The Lunar is a classic V-neck cardigan with flattering set in sleeves that works up quickly in snuggly Yarnsmiths Merino DK. This yarn is on the thicker end of the DK spectrum, which gives the cardigan its nice lofty structure, so its worth bearing that in mind when choosing a substitute yarn.

The Lunar is a top down cardigan with the simplicity and sophistication of a bottom up. It’s worked from the shoulders down, and the set in sleeves are grafted on using a new seamless method which I designed for the Stellar cardigan (the crew neck version with ties instead of buttons). There are captioned video tutorials linked throughout the pattern to help you out and it comes with plenty of clear and helpful step photos.
The cardigan has 14cm of positive ease. If you are between sizes you can choose to size down for a more snug fit with 9cm ease, or size up for 19cm ease and a more oversized look. Being top down, the length of the body and sleeves are easily adjustable.
Available in UK and US crochet terms in 8 sizes from XS to 4XL.
