The description of the cardigan from designer Cassie Castillo is translated from the book “Celtic Journey”.

Dimensions:

Necessary materials:

Yarn Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Worsted (100% Peruvian wool; 100 m / 50 grams per skein) – 12 (13, 15, 16, 18, 20, 22, 23) skeins, 2 buttons with a diameter of 2.5 cm.

Tools:

Circular needles No. 4.5, 40 cm and 80 cm long, set of double-pointed needles No. 4.5, stitch markers, stitch holders, extra needle, tapestry needle.

Knitting density:

20 loops and 25 rows = 10 cm of stockinette stitch after steaming;

21 loops and 30 rows of panel with bundles = 7 cm wide and 10 cm high after steaming.

Notes:

Making a cardigan begins with a belt, which is knitted across the height of the jacket. Then loops are cast on the sides of the belt for the upper and lower parts.

When knitting the upper part of the back, an empty space is left for a square medallion. Loops for the medallion are cast on three sides of the back, and loops for the fourth side are cast on separately. The medallion is knitted in circular rows from the outside to the center.

The neckline binding is done separately and sewn along the front and neckline.

During work, if necessary, switch from long circular knitting needles to shorter ones.

Adding a loop with right and left lifting is shown in the video tutorial
