 THE PATTERN
Gauge swatch
Begin by checking your gauge. This is to ensure that your cardigan gets the correct size
and therefore it is crucial that your swatch is the same measurements as in the pattern. If
you prefer a chart, see next page.

With the 5 mm / H-8 hook: Chain 21

Row 1: In the 6th chain from the hook (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc), *skip next 5 ch, (2dc, ch 2, 2 dc)
in next ch* rep *-* from across until 3 last ch of the row. Skip next 2 ch, dc in last ch,
turn.

Row 2: Ch 1, sc in the last dc from previous row, *ch 3, dc in next ch 2 - space, ch 3,

skip next 2 dc, sc between last skipped and next dc* rep *-* across, ending with a sc in
top of turning ch, turn.

Row 3: Ch 4 (counts as tr), skip next ch-3 loop, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in next dc, *skip next 2
ch-3 loops, (2 dc, ch 2, 2 dc) in next dc* rep *-* across to within last ch-3 loop, skip next
ch-3 loop, tr in last sc, turn.

Row 4-7: Repeat row 2-3.

Measure your swatch. For the gauge to be correct your swatch should measure 12
cm / 4.7”across and 11 cm / 4.3” in height. Adjust hook size if needed.
