What a versatile and useful piece for your wardrobe! This A-line cardigan comes with variations for 2 different body lengths and 3 different sleeve lengths, so you can make several and they'll all look different. Knit from the top down, starting with the collar, using a circular needle but knit back and forth. A flattering raglan yoke can be made with decorative or plain increases. Uses worsted weight yarn with a gauge of 5 st/inch.Â
There are so many great yarns that will work well for this pattern. Try Merino 8 or Ultra Alpaca for solid colors, Lett-Lopi for outdoor wear. Most of the medium weight #4 yarns will do well.
