What is Being Made
Tanvi is a delicate, seamless circular yoke cardigan designed for infants and children, ranging from 6 months to size 10. The name Tanvi means delicate, and the design lives up to this aesthetic with refined lace detailing throughout. This cardigan is an ideal layering piece for spring mornings, offering a lightweight solution to cool weather while showcasing beautiful hand-dyed sock yarn. The garment is available in seven size options with chest measurements ranging from 17.5 inches (6 months) to 31.5 inches (size 10), and lengths from 10 inches to 20 inches depending on size.
Knitting Techniques Used
Tanvi employs advanced knitting techniques suitable for experienced crafters. The cardigan features a circular yoke construction, which is knit seamlessly from the neck down. This method creates a smooth, fitted shoulder area with minimal seaming. The design incorporates lace patterning throughout, with eyelets featured on the yoke and lacy diamond motifs on the body. The lace pattern repeats measure 9 inches in width and 6 inches in height after blocking, with 4 horizontal and 4 vertical repeats creating the overall fabric design. The body is knit flat, allowing for clean edges and straightforward shaping.
Stitches Used
- Stockinette stitch – the primary stitch used for gauge measurement and base fabric construction
- Lace stitches – eyelet patterns on the yoke section
- Lace diamond stitches – featured on the body of the cardigan
Materials and Specifications
This pattern is designed to showcase a single skein of hand-dyed sock yarn. The recommended yarn is KnitPicks Stroll Tonal Sock Yarn in the Spring-time colorway, a 4-ply weight yarn composed of 70% Merino wool and 30% Nylon. Each 100-gram skein contains 462 yards of yardage. Yardage requirements vary by size, ranging from 340 yards for the 6-month size to 565 yards for size 10.
Knitting is worked on US #2½ (3 mm) circular needles, or the size required to obtain proper gauge. The recommended gauge is 21 stitches and 32 rows over 4 inches (10 cm) in Stockinette stitch after blocking, which is typical for sock yarn weight projects and ensures the delicate drape of the finished cardigan.
