Gauge
Yarn Gauge (an Annetarsia technique for knowing how many inches of yarn used per stitch <watch video explaining this here>) used for yardage calculations: 0.72
18 sts and 28 rows = 4” [10 cm] in blocked stockinette. To save time, check gauge, and adjust needle size accordingly.
Important note about gauge: measure the unblocked gauge, and measure gauge again after blocking. Gauge may change significantly, especially on the front pieces, so trust your BLOCKED gauge, and count rows, not inches, for best results.
MATERIALS FOR CHIC HIGHLAND ARGYLE KNIT CARDIGAN
You can use any yarn or needles you wish for your cardigan but it is important to note that this argyle cardigan is knit with a soft and springy 100% washable merino yarn which may look differently than if you use 100% acrylic. A natural wool really is the best choice when making this Chic Highland Argyle Cardigan.
