Size guide
Champagne Cardigan should have a range of motion ( positive ease) of approx. 28 cm in relation to your bust measurement. The fit is oversize. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements of the finished cardigan are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting, to determine which size will fit you best. If you measure 106 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), for example, you should knit a size XL. A cardigan in size XL has an upper width of 134 cm and will in the example given give a range of movement ( positive ease ) of 28 cm.
Sizes: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL
Cardigan width: 113 (117) 121 (128) 134 (146) 157 (167) 173 cm
Length: 61 (62) 65 (66) 68 (68) 70 (71) 72 cm (measured center back without neckline)
Gauge: 18 stitches x 28 rows in stocking stitch on 4.5 mm needles = 10 x 10 cm
22 stitches x 28 rows in double crochet on 3 mm needles = 10 x 10 cm
Knitting suggestions: Circular needle 4.5 mm (40, 60 and 80 or 100 cm), circular needle 3 mm (100 cm), double pointed needles 4.5 mm (if you are not knitting with Magic Loop technique) and a single 3 mm double pointed needle
Material: 500-550 (550) 600 (600) 600 (650) 700 (750) 750 g Double Sunday from Sandnes Garn (50 g = 108 m) (here in the color Almond 2511) knit together with 125 (125) 150 (150) 175 (175) 175 (200) 200 g Tynn Silk Mohair from Sandnes Garn (25 g = 212 m) (here in the color Kitt 1015).
Knitting without mohair? Feel free to replace a strand of silk mohair with Alpaca 1 from Isager (50 g = 400 m), Alpakka follower thread from Sandnes (50 g = 400 m) or Alva from Filcolana (25 g = 175 m). Then calculate so that you have the same number of meters as the original yarn. So if you need 125 grams of silk mohair (let's calculate at 210 meters for simplicity's sake), you need 5x210 meters = 1050 meters. This corresponds to 3 balls of Alpaca 1 or Alpakka follower thread, or 6 balls of Alva.
