{"product_id":"mohair-cardigan","title":"Mohair Button Cardigan Knitting Pattern","description":"\u003cp\u003eImagine a cardigan roomy enough to layer over your favourite shirt, with a soft mohair halo and finishing you are proud to show up close. Hanni brings a boxy silhouette together with a folded rib collar and double-knit button bands—small details that make a handmade staple feel considered.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInside the pattern\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe design has a round neckline with a folded 2 × 2 rib collar and buttonholes along the right front. Seven buttons complete the cardigan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSkills and construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSizes and fit\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizes: 1 \/ 2 \/ 3 \/ 4 \/ 5.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinished bust circumference: 110 \/ 120 \/ 130 \/ 140 \/ 150 cm. Finished length: 57 \/ 57 \/ 58 \/ 59 \/ 60 cm.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePositive 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eMaterials\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eWork 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).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn sizes 1 \/ 2 \/ 3 \/ 4 \/ 5: Peer Gynt 600 \/ 650 \/ 700 \/ 700 \/ 750 g; Tynn Silk Mohair 125 \/ 150 \/ 150 \/ 150 \/ 175 g.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e4.5 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSeven buttons, 20 mm diameter.
