What is inside the pattern?

The designer lists an English digital knitting pattern with written instructions for sizes 1–5. It covers the top-down cardigan construction, short-row shaping at the back, separately added shoulders, stockinette body worked back and forth, and double-knit button bands.

The design has a round neckline with a folded 2 × 2 rib collar and buttonholes along the right front. Seven buttons complete the cardigan.

Is this the right project for me?

The designer rates the difficulty 3.5 out of 5. Choose this project if you are comfortable moving beyond basic knit-and-purl fabric into short rows, double knitting, buttonholes and finishing a folded collar.

The cardigan begins at the top with a short-row-shaped back; the shoulders are added separately. The body is worked back and forth in stockinette while holding two yarns together. Expect the shaping and button bands to need more attention than the plain fabric.

Finished size & fit

Sizes: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5.

Finished bust circumference: 110 / 120 / 130 / 140 / 150 cm. Finished length: 57 / 57 / 58 / 59 / 60 cm.

The intended fit is oversized and boxy. The designer suggests approximately 30–35 cm of positive ease for body bust measurements of 75–115 cm, and 20–25 cm for body bust measurements of 115–130 cm.

Positive ease is the difference between your bust and the cardigan's finished bust. Compare these dimensions with a cardigan you already like before choosing a size; the amount of extra room is a deliberate part of this design.

Materials you will need

Work with one strand of Peer Gynt by Sandnes Garn (91 m per 50 g) held together with one strand of Tynn Silk Mohair by Sandnes Garn (212 m per 25 g).

In sizes 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5: Peer Gynt 600 / 650 / 700 / 700 / 750 g; Tynn Silk Mohair 125 / 150 / 150 / 150 / 175 g.

4.5 mm circular needles with 40 cm and 80 and/or 100 cm cables. 3 mm circular needles with an 80 or 100 cm cable, plus a 40 cm option for the sleeve rib. For small circumferences, 3 mm double-pointed needles or magic loop are alternatives.

Seven buttons, 20 mm diameter. The photographed sample uses Peer Gynt shade 1032 and Tynn Silk Mohair shade 1022.

Room for the layers you actually wear.

Hanni's generous shape leaves room for a shirt or other light layer underneath. The round neckline and folded collar frame the top, while the wide body gives the cardigan its relaxed profile.

That volume is intentional: this design calls for substantially more ease than a close-fitting cardigan. Check the finished bust against something in your wardrobe before you buy the yarn, so the shape you knit is the shape you wanted.

A finish worth taking your time over.

The quiet stockinette fabric puts the finishing in focus: a folded 2 × 2 rib collar, double-knit front bands and seven buttons. The mohair strand adds its fine halo while the wool strand supplies the body of the fabric.

If your favourite part of a project is seeing the final details come together, the collar and button bands give you that finishing stage to enjoy. They are also the reason to check your comfort with double knitting and buttonholes before starting.

A few things to gather.

Check your yarn and needles before you begin.

Yarn & tools

Work with one strand of Peer Gynt by Sandnes Garn (91 m per 50 g) held together with one strand of Tynn Silk Mohair by Sandnes Garn (212 m per 25 g).

In sizes 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5: Peer Gynt 600 / 650 / 700 / 700 / 750 g; Tynn Silk Mohair 125 / 150 / 150 / 150 / 175 g.

4.5 mm circular needles with 40 cm and 80 and/or 100 cm cables. 3 mm circular needles with an 80 or 100 cm cable, plus a 40 cm option for the sleeve rib. For small circumferences, 3 mm double-pointed needles or magic loop are alternatives.

Seven buttons, 20 mm diameter. The photographed sample uses Peer Gynt shade 1032 and Tynn Silk Mohair shade 1022.

Gauge

18 stitches × 27 rows = 10 × 10 cm in stockinette on 4.5 mm needles, measured after washing and blocking.

Swatch with both yarns held together. Use the needle size that achieves the blocked gauge, so your chosen finished bust measurement remains a useful guide.

Who designed this pattern?

Hanni Cardigan by Knitters & Friends. Product photographs show the designer's published sample.

What is the refund policy?

Digital purchases are generally non-refundable. If you bought a duplicate or have a problem with your pattern, contact us and we will help.

How oversized will it be?

The finished bust measures 110 / 120 / 130 / 140 / 150 cm across sizes 1–5. The designer recommends 30–35 cm of extra room for a 75–115 cm body bust, or 20–25 cm for a 115–130 cm body bust. Measure a favourite roomy cardigan laid flat and compare its doubled width with these finished dimensions.

Is the whole cardigan worked in simple stockinette?

The body is worked back and forth in stockinette, but the full project also includes short-row shaping, a folded rib collar, double-knit button bands and buttonholes. The designer's difficulty rating is 3.5 out of 5, so it is worth choosing it for the shaping and finishing work as well as the plain knitting.
