Duo Tone Cardi

With a nostalgic nod to the 80's, this cardi is like a cosy, embracing hug you can wear all day long. The Duo Tone Cardigan features raglan sleeves, an oversized fit, hip-length hem and gorgeous balloon cuffs with an optional colour change in the sleeve for a bit of fun.

Why You'll Love It:

• Knit from the top down for a quick, simple knit with zero seaming
• Made in 12 ply mohair for that soft, fluffy warmth
• Once finished, the neckline is picked up and knit for just a few rows to complete the cardigan
• Suitable for intermediate level knitters and above
• Just know that hairy yarn can be tricky to unravel when you make a mistake, so patience is needed — we wouldn't recommend mohair for your first ever cardi or sweater pattern
• This is a printed pattern that will be posted to you
• Stocked and shipped from Rangiora

Fit & Yarn Details

We recommend a mohair or mohair blend yarn in 12 ply/Bulky weight. Crucci Nimbus or Touch Yarns Mohair/Merino 12 Ply would be absolutely perfect for this!

Finished Bust Measurements (excl neckband): cm = 82.5 (87.5, 91.5, 96.5, 101.5, 105) (110, 115, 119, 124, 129) / inches = 33 (35, 36.5, 38.5, 40.5, 42) (44, 46, 47.5, 49.5, 51.5)

Yarn Quantity:
Colour #1: 567 (588, 601, 627, 693, 708) (729, 752, 817, 842, 861) metres / 621 (644, 658, 686, 758, 775) (798, 823, 894, 921, 942) yards

If omitting the colour change, just add together the meterage/yardage requirements for both colours in your size.

Needles: 5.5 mm and 4.5 mm circulars with an 80 cm cord.

NOTE: The body is knit flat but the sleeves are worked in the round using circular needles and the magic loop method. If you prefer to use DPNs on the sleeves then you will also need a set of 4 DPNs in each needle size above.

Gauge: 16 sts x 21 rows = 10 x 10 cm in stockinette stitch after blocking.
