Pattern release - A-factor Cardigan

I’ve finished working and testing my latest design - A-factor Cardigan for children and happy to share it with you today.

This cardigan is designed in collaboration with Mary Maxim Yarn company using their Natural Alpaca Tweed yarn. Knitting kits for A-factor cardigan will be available from Mary Maxim in April. Single pattern is available from Ravelry and LoveCrafts (see more info below).

A-factor Cardigan has a bit unusual look as it is designed with asymmetrical front parts. Right front part of cardigan is knitted in stripe stitch and has a triangular band, the left front part is knitted in stockinette and it is straight and wide. Design also features modified dropped shoulders, straight sleeves and collar. You won’t be bored with so many features while knitting this project.

The Cardigan is knitted with Aran weight yarn on US8 (5.0 mm) knitting needles, so it is a fast knitted project.
As for most knitting projects, I highly recommend you to check your gauge correctly to get a beautiful result. You can read more about gauge here

Mary Maxim yarn is not available in the UK, so I can recommend the following substitutes:
- Stylecraft Special Aran with Wool
- Rowan Pure Wool Superwash DK
- Cascade 220
