Duo Tone Cardi Knitting Pattern By Purl Foundry

Description

For best results, we recommend using a 12 ply/Bulky weight yarn, especially a luxurious mohair or mohair blend.

Finished bust measurements (excluding neckband) in cm: 82.5 (87.5, 91.5, 96.5, 101.5, 105) (110, 115, 119, 124, 129), and in inches: 33 (35, 36.5, 38.5, 40.5, 42) (44, 46, 47.5, 49.5, 51.5).

Yarn requirements for Colour #1 are: 567 (588, 601, 627, 693, 708) (729, 752, 817, 842, 861) metres or 621 (644, 658, 686, 758, 775) (798, 823, 894, 921, 942) yards.
Colour #2 requires 109 metres or 120 yards for all sizes.
If you’re omitting the color change, combine the meterage or yardage for both colors based on your size.

Recommended needles are 5.5 mm and 4.5 mm circular needles with an 80 cm cord.

Note: the body is knitted flat while the sleeves are worked in the round using circular needles and the Magic Loop method; if you prefer using DPNs for sleeves, have a set of 4 DPNs in each needle size.

Gauge is 16 stitches by 21 rows = 10 x 10 cm in stockinette stitch after blocking.
