flurry cardigan
CONSTRUCTION
Flurry cardigan is either knit top-down in the round and steeked, or knit flat. For the steeked version, stitches are cast on for the yoke, which is then worked with raglan increases and colourwork in the round. For the flat version, stitches are cast on for the yoke and knitted flat with raglan increases and colourwork. When the yoke is finished, the stitches of the body are put on hold. The sleeves are knitted in the round with decreases under the arm and a ribbing at the end. The body is then knitted in the round or flat depending on your version, and finished with a ribbing. The steeked version will now be required to sew and cut along the middle of the front of the garment. Stitches are picked up for the opening, and knitted in a ribbing with openings for button holes on the right side. The neck is then picked up and knitted flat.

SIZING AND MEASUREMENTS
Sizes: 1 (2) 3 (4) 5 (6)
Cardigan circumference: 111 (121) 133 (143) 149 (163) cm
The cardigan has a recommended positive ease of 26-36 cm. Measure yourself around the chest and thus determine your size. The model in the picture is wearing a cardigan in size 2 and measures 89 cm around the chest, which gives a positive ease of 30 cm.
YARN AND MATERIALS
2 strands of Loch Lomond GOTS (100% Wool. 50g = 150m) in each colour or 1 strand of Hamelton Tweed 2 GOTS (90% Wool, 10% Viscose. 50g = 60m) in each colour from BC Garn.
Main colour: 400 (450) 450 (500) 550 (600) g
Contrast colour: 300 (350) 350 (350) 400 (400) g
The dominant color is the one that is closest to your knitwear when you knit, and the color that will stand out the most in the pattern. Here you can choose to use the main color or the contrasting color, depending on which expression you want on the cardigan, but what is important is to make a conscious choice and stick to it throughout the work. This will give an even and consistent result on the pattern of your entire cardigan.
Buttons: 5 duffel buttons with length 25-35 mm. The buttons used in the model are 30 mm long.
GAUGE
14 stitches in colourwork on needle 7 mm correspond to 10 cm in width after washing. It is important to achieve the correct knitting tension for the cardigan to fit correctly. If you have fewer stitches per 10 cm, you must go down one needle size. If you have more stitches per 10 cm, you must go up a needle size.
Needles: 7 mm circular needle, 60 or 80 cm long
6.5 mm circular needle, 60 or 80 cm long
