Pattern available in French and English.

The Novice Cardigan – Mohair Edition is worked from the top down.
This means that you start with the ribbed neckband, then knit the yoke, then the body, and finally the sleeves.
The cardigan is worked in stockinette stitch, while the edgings are worked in rib stitch.

The Novice Cardigan – Mohair Edition has a round yoke, which is shaped with 4 increase rounds evenly distributed over the entire height of the yoke.

Size Guide and Measurements

It is essential to achieve the correct gauge in order to obtain a garment that matches the measurements given in the instructions.

Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed for a bust circumference of approximately:
80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm
[31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ (51¼-55) 55-59 inches].

The Novice Cardigan – Mohair Edition is designed to have approximately 10 cm [4 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is intended to be about 10 cm [4 inches] wider than your bust circumference.

Example: If your bust circumference (or your widest point on the upper body) measures 90 cm [35½ inches], you should knit a size S, which has a circumference of 100 cm [39¼ inches]. This will give you approximately 10 cm [4 inches] of positive ease.
