The Agnete Cardigan is worked from the top down in brioche stitch. First a section for the back of the neck is worked in double knitting, which will connect to the front edges, and form the integrated button bands. Next, stitches are picked up and knitted along the edge of this section, and the back yoke is worked from these. After this, the right and left front yoke are worked flat, separately. The three parts of the yoke are joined to form the body, which is worked flat, back and forth in brioche stitch while the front edges or button bands are continued to be worked simultaneously in double knitting. Buttonholes are worked along the double knitting front bands. Stitches are then picked up and knitted along the armholes and the sleeves are worked down from these in the round. Begin by knitting a swatch before you start your project, to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge. Please be aware that the row gauge (i.e. how many rows there are height-wise in 10 cm [4 inches] in a column) can vary depending on the yarn you’re knitting with. The most important thing is to have the correct stitch gauge (i.e. how many stitches there are width-wise in 10 cm [4 inches]). Sizes: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL Needles: Circular needles: 3 mm [US2½] / 40, 60, 80 and/or 100 cm [16, 24, 32 and or 40 inches] and 2.5 mm [US1½] / 60 cm [24 inches]; Double-pointed needles: 3 mm [US2½] Difficulty: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ (5 out of 5)
