Knitting Kit - Dancing Spirits by Knitting For Breakfast

Pattern not included - you must purchase the pattern on Ravelry here. 

Pattern available in French and English. 

The Dancing Spirits cardigan features a romantic style and an elegance inspired by another era. Simple lace patterns and delicate cables harmoniously and subtly adorn the yoke, making the knitting enjoyable and captivating.

The cardigan is knitted top-down, back and forth, with a circular yoke. Gradual increases are made throughout the yoke until the sleeve separation, which are then put on hold on a stitch holder or waste yarn, and later picked up. To facilitate pattern reading, only one chart is used for the yoke and the increases are discreetly integrated into the pattern, resulting in a seamless garment.

The sleeves are then knitted in the round.

The pattern is available in 10 sizes, suitable for a bust circumference of 89 to 179 cm.

The size guide and chart included in the PDF will help you choose the ease that best suits you.

The model was designed with a particular alpaca yarn: although very fine, it gives a lot of volume to the knitting and offers a soft, light and refined finish. The garment is thus comfortable and airy, almost like a veil.
