The Cosmo Cardigan is a slightly loose-fitting V-neck cardigan. It is worked top-down seamlessly. After creating the yoke and body, the sleeves are finished separately. Lastly, stitches are picked up for a double knitted button band.
The yoke is worked in double broken rib stitch, which gradually makes way to stockinette stitch. Cables are used to create a smooth diagonal line which separates the double broken rib section from the stockinette section. The lines are continued until they meet in the middle of the front- and backside and the sleeves. Then the body and sleeves are finished off in stockinette stitch and finally a 1x1 rib section. The rib section is finished off with a Tubular Bind-off. The double knitted button band uses an Italian Cast-on and Cast-off.
The cardigan is worked with two strands held double - a merino and a mohair strand. Alternatively, it can be worked mohair free with a single strand of DK weight merino or similar fiber.
Finished garment circumference:
93 (100) 107 (114) 122 (129) 136 (144) cm
36.5 (39.5) 42 (45) 48 (51) 53.5 (56.5)”
This cardigan is designed to be worn with 10-15 cm/4-6” positive ease. The circumference of the finished garment should therefore be 10-15cm/4-6” more than your bust circumference/circumference of the widest section of your upper body.
If you’re in between sizes, I recommend choosing the larger one.
Example: If you have a bust circumference of 95 cm/37.5”, please choose size C with a finished garment circumference of 107cm/42”.*
