Printed pattern - by post

The pattern is suitable for beginners as it contains no abbreviations. You can find videos further down this page showing the individual steps.

The Novice Cardigan – Mohair Edition is knitted from top to bottom. This means you start with the neckband, then work the yoke, and then knit the body and sleeves. The cardigan is knitted in stockinette stitch, while the cuffs are knitted in ribbing. The Novice Cardigan – Mohair Edition has a round yoke. It is created by working increases during knitting – 4 times, evenly distributed over the yoke.

Size Guide and Measurements

Please note that you can only rely on the given measurements if your gauge matches.

Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust circumference of approx. 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The Novice Cardigan – Mohair Edition should have a positive ease of approx. 10 cm (meaning the cardigan's bust circumference is approximately 10 cm larger than your bust circumference). This means, for example, if you have measured a bust circumference of 90 cm (measure yourself with a tape measure at the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S, as this has a bust circumference of 100 cm. This gives a positive ease of 10 cm.
