Lihan Cardigan Mystyle & Junior
DESCRIPTION
This Cardigan is part of the LIHAN DESIGN CAPSULE (#LihanSweater (Kids), #LihanDress (Kids), #LihanCardigan0-7y). It’s the junior and adult version to the baby/kids sized Lihan Cardigan 0-7y and comes in 10 sizes (~XXS-3XL).
It has a circular yoke top-down construction: you can decide if you like a plain stockinette stitch cardigan with nearly invisible increases or if you prefer a summery, eyelet increase or or a textured nupp increase. You can also choose from a range of options for the sleeves: short sleeves, or straight or shaped long sleeves. You can mix and match as you prefer. See all the different projects on ravelry and on instagram for inspiration.
We love to see your knits on social media. Please use #lihancardigan and #ivnknit
The pattern is techedited by Amelia Hodsdon (@woollenwords) and testknitted by a bunch of talented testknitters
SIZES
1 (2 / 3 / 4 / 5) 6 (7 / 8 / 9 / 10)
XXS (XS / S / SM / M) ML (L / XL / XXL / 3XL)
Finished chest measurements: 79 (83 / 87 / 91 / 95) 103 (113 / 123 / 133 / 143) cm (31 (32.75 / 34.25 / 35.75 / 37.5) 40.5 (44.5 / 48.5 / 52.25 / 56.25) inches)
-->Junior Sizing suggestion: XXS can be for a 9-year, XS for an 11-year, S for a 13-year and SM for a 15-year old.
(If you work size XXS-S for a kids / teenie it night be that you have to adjust the body and sleeve length a bit, given length are for averaged adults)
-->Sizing is a guide only and you should pick the finished measurement size closest to the wearer’s measurements
plus 5-10 cm (2-4 inches) of positive ease. The cardigan has a relaxed fit, so if you like a more fitted style just choose a size smaller or less ease.
NEEDLES
Circular needles to obtain gauge: one larger (recommended 4,0 mm (US 6)) and one smaller (recommended 3,0 mm
(US 3)) with a length at least of 60 cm (24 inches)
Optional: double-pointed needles in both sizes (if you don’t want to work the sleeves with the magic loop method)
The i-cord edge can be worked with the circular needle.
GAUGE
20 sts x 30 rows = 10x10 cm (4x4 inches) in stockinette stitch, blocked, with larger needle size
YARN
DK weight or yarn to obtain requested gauge
Eg: Sandnes Garn Duo (DK; 55% Merino wool, 45% cotton; 124 m (136 yds) per 50g), colourway 2124 Aksgul
Or Sandnes Garn Line (worsted weight; 53% cotton, 33% viscose, 14% linen; 110 m (120 yds) per 50g)
Sample use: Kiez Garn Tough Merino Sock (75% merino, 25% nylon; 425m per 100g), colourway Beating Heart, held together with Lana Grossa SIlkhair (70% mohair, 30% silk; 210m per 25g), colourway 163
METRES NEEDED
Long sleeve version: 870 (900 / 1000 / 1080 / 1150) 1280 (1450 / 1620 / 1800 / 2000) m
(950 (990 / 1090 / 1180 / 1260) 1400 (1600 / 1770 / 1970 / 2180) yds)
Amounts stated are calculated for simple increases for the yoke (YOs / M1s), for bobbles or nupps you need quite a bit more and for a dk weight yarn, held single. If you held fingering double you need souble the amount of yarn!
-->Yardage may vary a bit from knitter to knitter, yarn to yarn! Have always a bit more in stock to be on the safe side.
