PATTERN STORY
I love making sweaters, but sometimes, you just need a quick stash busty one. So, I thought a little cardigan for a wine bottle would be nice. You can use all of those advent minis, or leftovers and be creative in the meantime. It’s the perfect host gift for your holiday parties.

SKILLS NEEDED
Optional: Disappearing loop cast on, increasing.

CONSTRUCTION
The cardigan is knit bottom up, in the round, except for the collar which is knit flat.
I’ve also added instructions for knitting the piece flat.
Buttons are sewn on after blocking.

YARN
You can use roughly 25g of any fingering weight yarn that you want.
Samples knit in Mondim by Rosa Pumar and take about 25g / 105 yds / 97m

NEEDLES
The recommended needles are 2.5mm / US 1.5
I started with DPN’s and changed to a small circular, but this can also be done in magic loop with a 80cm/ 32in circular needle

Gauge is 32 sts x 42 rows per 10cm / 4in

RECOMMENDED NOTIONS
4 stitch markers, a tapestry needle & buttons
