Gauge: 11 stitches and 13 rows with Wild alpaca in height with stockinette with 10 mm needles for a 10 x 10 cm swatch. Everyone’s tension is different, so if your tension is too tight and your gauge swatch measures too little, change to a thicker needle. If your ten- sion is too loose and your gauge swatch is too wide, change to a thinner needle. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGood to know\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cardigan is knitted top down and mostly worked back and forth, except for the sleeves that are knitted in round. The yoke is knitted back and forth with an increase until the cardigan has the right width. The sleeves are then set aside at the armpits and the body completed first. Then the sleeves are knitted in the round from the armpits. The button holes are part of the inner edge and are knitted last.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRead the pattern through before you start your project.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are working with Wild alpaca: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI recommend you to alternate by working with two hanks at a time so the color blends more evenly in the project. When you knit with both hanks at the same time, you simply change them out in every second row (because you’re working back and forth). Here is a good example on how to do it if you’re not familiar with the technique:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ehttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CtxBXfi5g6w\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are working with Kid silk mohair and want to create ombre fade look:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kid silk mohair version is knitted with three strands of mohair at the same time. To create the perfect fade use the same colour for all three (or some similar colors). When you run out of yarn or you feel like it’s time to change colour, cut the thread and add the next colour to play. But only cut one thread at the time, knit for a few rows before cutting the next one. If you change all colours at the same time, your leftover project will get stripes (that could also be another version of the cardigan) , but if you only go for one strand at every few rows, the colours fade more softly together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth Wild and the Kid silk version can be knitted in one solid colour. You will need same amount of yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"thelmasteimann","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57822232543581,"sku":null,"price":1300.0,"currency_code":"ISK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/9690\/8893\/files\/59676b_a2eb83631e0b41dc9e2b1740005968d8_mv2_66d440b1-ddb5-4649-a14a-434242050882.png?v=1751524474","url":"https:\/\/thelmasteimann.is\/en\/products\/wendycardigan-english","provider":"thelmasteimann","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
