Candy Cane cardigan

Be more Candy Cane this season! This oversized statement cardigan uses vertical granny stripes and a light fluffy yarn to create an eye-catching layer that can be dressed up or down.

Made in 2 long panels and seamed together, this cardigan works up quickly and uses a lightweight thin Aran yarn to achieve maximum drape. The yarn used is Stylecraft Grace and the tension(gauge) is 4.5 x 3tr (3dc) groups and 8.5 rows to 10cm (4in). If you are substituting yarn, ensure you choose one with similar metres per gram. Cygnet Sugar Spun and Hobbii Fluffy Day are good alternatives. Not a fan of Candy Canes? Make it in Cygnet Sugar Spun shades 'Floating Island' and 'Cobweb' to embrace your inner Beetlejuice!

The pattern is intermediate level, comes in 8 sizes with 3 sleeve lengths and is written in UK and US crochet terms. It includes schematics, step photos and diagrams to help. Pattern support is available at via email
