About Ellis Cardigan:
Ellis Cardigan is worked back and forth on circular needles. After casting on you’ll work German short rows to raise the neck and shoulders for a more comfortable fit. You’ll then start working raglan and V-neck increases. Work is then divided; body and sleeves are finished separately.

Sizes: XS (S, M, L) XL (2XL, 3XL, 4XL) 5XL

Finished Measurements:
Bust: 36 (39, 42, 45) 48 (51, 54, 57) 60 inches
• To choose your size, measure bust and add 3-4 inches of positive ease for comfortable roomy fit. The heavy drape of this bulky yarn will make it feel looser, so it is recommended not to make this too oversize.

Knitting Needles:

US 10/6mm circular needles (30-40 inch) and DPN to work rib.
US 11/8mm circular needles (40 inch) and DPN to work sleeves.
If using magic loop for sleeves you don’t need DPN.
