Good to know
The cardigan is knitted from top down in the raglan style from RS & WS, starting on the neckline, knitting the yoke and separating the arms and body and continuing from there. The ribbed structure is different based on which size is knitted, so make sure to follow the instructions according to which size is knitted.The laces are knitted with i-cord technique and stitched onto the cardigan.
The yarn quantity required is based on the average, and is therefore an approximate number. The sweater can be knitted in any yarn that consists of the same thickness as Organic merino DK or reaches the same gauge as provided.
