Wild Child Cardy is a relaxed fit statement garment made up of colour pop squares designed by Lee Sartori. With a boxy silhouette and simple collar shape, all the attention is on the beautiful floral details of the squares and the co-ordinating edgings. Mood-boosting colours and a finer yarn weight make this project a fun creative challenge. This cardigan’s wow factor will add me-made joy to any summer outfit.

Crocheted in our durable, soft, eco-friendly Amble yarn this is a great easy-to-care-for project made from Easy-wash Merino wool, Easy-wash alpaca and recycled nylon. Easy-wash is a trademarked name that refers to a process used to make the wool and alpaca fibres in Amble machine washable without shrinking. The Easy-wash method is chlorine-free and AOX-free, making it a better environmental choice for producing machine washable wool.

Sizes
1 (2: 3: 4: 5: 6: 7: 8: 9)
The given sizes are called Sizes 1-9 and are recommended to fit a chest circumference of: 71-76 (81-86: 91-96: 102-107: 112-117: 122-127: 132-137: 142-147: 152-157) cm (28-30 (32-34: 36-38: 40-42: 44-46: 48-50: 52-54: 56-58: 60-62) in)

Recommend Ease
Due to the nature of the construction, using square motif of a specific size, there are three finished chest measurements to choose from across the range of 9 sizes. Each size differs in the amount of positive ease across the chest, as follows: 52-47 (42-37: 32-27: 82-77: 72-67: 62-57: 98-93: 88-83:78-73) cm (20.5-18.5 (16.5-14.5: 12.75-10.75: 32.25-30.25: 28.5-26.5: 24.5-22.5: 38.5-36.5: 30.75-28.75) in).

Should you require less positive ease for your chest, you can decrease your hook size to make a smaller motif. Any changes to the motif will also affect sleeve and length measurements, and yarn quantities.
