Sideways striped v-neck cardigan is buttoned up fun in two textured cotton yarns, one a multicolored pigtail loop. Four sizes from S 40 1/4” to XL 50”.

Recommended yardage is for both yarns together. You will need between 7-10 skeins each of the solid colored yarn (117 yds. each) and the textured variegated yarn (160 yds. each), which is knit doubled. Both yarns used in the original project are discontinued. Classic Elite Patina or Knit Picks Cot-Lin, plus Crystal Palace Waikiki or Karabella Kiko (both used single ply) might be good substitutes.

The featured project is being made with some stashed/traded Atmosphere (doubled up) and Debbie Bliss Wool/Cotton subbing for the Avignon yarn.
