Product Description
LONG LOVE is the long version of the Little Love cardigan.
The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top-down. Start working the collar separately. You first pick up and then CO sts for the back and shape the back neck with short rows. Continue to work the back for the length of the armhole. Pick up the stitches for the front and collar and work both fronts symmetrically for the length of the armhole. Join back and fronts to work the body in stitch pattern down to the bottom ribbing. Pick up the sleeve sts to work the sleeves in rounds in stitch pattern.
LONG LOVE Cardigan by ANKESTRiCK
What is Being Made
LONG LOVE is a downloadable knitting pattern for a cardigan designed by ANKESTRiCK. This intermediate-level project is available in 10 sizes ranging from XS to 5XL, with finished bust circumferences from 104 cm (41 inches) up to 176 cm (69.25 inches). The pattern is designed to be worn with positive ease, with the sample shown in size S featuring approximately 26 cm (10.25 inches) of positive ease at the bust.
Craft and Techniques
This is a knitting pattern suitable for intermediate-level crafters. The cardigan is constructed using circular needles for the main body and double-pointed needles (DPNs) for working the sleeves. The pattern employs special techniques for measuring and calculating positive ease to ensure proper fit across the multiple size options. Knitters will work with fingering weight yarn to create a light and airy finished garment.
Stitches and Construction
While specific stitch patterns are not detailed in the provided pattern information, the construction method involves working with circular needles and DPNs, indicating techniques common to modern cardigan construction such as seamless or minimal-seam assembly methods.
Materials Required
- Yarn: Filace Bunny light in the color Tenebre. This yarn is a 1-ply fingering weight composed of 50% wool, 25% alpaca, and 25% acrylic, offering a blend of warmth, softness, and durability. Each skein contains 230 meters (251 yards) and weighs 50 grams.
- Yarn Quantity: Between 7 and 11 skeins depending on size selected, totaling approximately 1480 meters or 1617 yards across all size options
- Needles: A 3.25 mm (US size 3) circular needle to achieve proper gauge, plus double-pointed needles in the same size for sleeve construction
Gauge
Achieving the correct gauge is essential for this pattern. Knitters should work to the specified gauge using the recommended 3.25 mm circular needles with the Filace Bunny light yarn to ensure the cardigan fits as intended across all size options.
