The cardigan can be worn belted or open, pairing equally well with jeans or skirts for a range of styling options.
Finished Dimensions
This knitting pattern is available in nine finished bust sizes: 32, 34, 36, 40, 42, 46, 48, 52, and 54 inches. The pattern recommends 1 to 3 inches of positive ease for a comfortable, flattering fit.
Knitting Techniques and Stitches
The Annina employs advanced knitting techniques suitable for experienced crafters. The primary design feature is a large wavy cable-lace pattern that creates visual interest and texture throughout the garment. This combination of cable and lace stitchwork requires attention to detail and familiarity with both cable manipulation and lace decreases and yarn-overs.
The pattern utilizes a gauge of 24 stitches over 4 inches in the lace/cable pattern, which is typical for DK weight yarn worked on smaller needles. Knitters should swatch carefully to ensure proper gauge before beginning the project, as this affects the finished dimensions significantly.
