Fluffygan is a basic and lightweight cardigan with drop shoulder sleeves and all over Purl Ridge stitch pattern, designed to be worn with positive ease at bust. It is knit back and forth from top down.

The upper back is worked first and, at the same time, shaped by Japanese short rows. The fronts are worked next and shaped with increases. The upper back and upper fronts at the armpit level are joined into one piece and knit flat until the bottom rib. The cardigan's bottom rib and button band are made of 2x2 rib. The sleeves are knit in the round in all over Purl Ridge stitch pattern, as the body, and finished with matching 2x2 rib cuffs.

Sizes
( 1, 2, 3 ) { 4, 5 } ( 6, 7, 8 ) Bust circumference of the cardigan (buttoned):
( 90, 100, 110 ) { 120, 130 } ( 140, 150, 160 ) cm / ( 36, 40, 44 ) { 48, 52 } ( 56, 60, 64 ) ”
The cardigan was designed to be worn with approximately 10-15 cm / 4–6 ” of positive ease at bust.

Deepening on your preferences, choose a size which has circumference about 10-15 cm/ 4-6” bigger than your actual bust circumference. For example, I'm measuring in bust 120 cm / 48". I've knit for myself size 5 and the sweater is worn with 10 cm / 4" of positive ease at bust.

***

Although the skeins come from the same dye bath, they can vary. If working with two or more skeins I recommend alternating strands to obtain a uniform fabric.

Care:
Even though this yarn is super wash I recommend a cool hand wash in a mild detergent. Although every effort is made to exhaust the dye bath of color you may find a little color bleed on the first wash.

I try to depict the true color of yarn but please remember each monitor will be different.
