Lille Anemone was probably one of the last designs that I could photo-shoot outdoors this season! I worked it in a sunny color, to remind me that we in a few months time can expect the sun to shine on our faces again:) In the meantime I will appreciate listening to the rain, knitting…

Design
Featuring an interesting and unusual round yoke of cables this little A-line cardigan will match dresses, skirts, jeans….
The bottom of the lower body and sleeves are worked in a garter/stockinette pattern, finished off with a picot bind-off.

Construction
The cardigan is knit top-down and is completely seamless.
You start from the garter neckline, followed by the interesting, cabled yoke. To shape the front you work a section of short-rows and raglan-increases, thereafter raglan-increases only.
At underarms work is split, and lower body and sleeves are worked in separate pieces to bind-off.
Sts are picked up for the button-bands.

Sizes
Age: 6mo / 9mo / 12mo / 18mo-2years / 2-3years / 4-5years Finished chest circumference: 47.5/52/55/58.5/63/66cm = 18.5/20.5/22/23/25/26”

Materials
Yarn: I used Madelinetosh ”Tosh Merino Light” to work the sample. This yarn of fingering weight that comes in skeins of 384 m/420 yards. You will need approximately 300/340/380/440/550/600 m = 330/370/420/480/600/655 yards of this specific yarn. Yardage might vary from one knitter to another. Needles: A 60-80cm/24-32” long circular needle, size 3 mm/US2.5 to work the upper and lower body. A set of dpns (or a circular needle if working the magic loop), size 3 mm/US2.5 to work the sleeves. A pair of straight needles, 3 mm/US2.5 to work the button-bands. Please note that the needle size is a suggestion only. You need to choose needles to obtain gauge. Notions: removable stitch-markers, scrap yarn and a crochet hook 2.5mm for working the provisional cast on of the underarm sts, separate holders to keep the sleeve sts, 3 buttons (or more/less), 13 mm/0.5” across.

Gauge
26 sts and 36 rows in stockinette sts using needle size 3 mm/US2.5 = 10cmx10cm/4”x4”

The pattern
The pattern is easy and comprehensible to follow, with all necessary stitch-counts given, all measurements are in cm’s as well as in inches. The rounded yoke is written out row-by-row.
There is a schematic

Errata:
Row 13 of the yoke should read:
Row 13 (RS) – increase row: k1, (k8, m1l, k3), repeat (-) until 7 sts rem, k7
Row 19 (RS): work as row 17
