Before you begin
Make a washed or blocked swatch and check both gauge and fabric before starting. Buy complete balls, allowing extra yarn for swatching, changes to length or fit, and differences in gauge. The metre figures are based on the designer’s quantities, rather than exact measured consumption.
Frequently asked questions
Should Anna’s Cardigan gauge be measured in stocking stitch?
No. The required gauge is 22 stitches and 31 rows per 10 cm in the eyelet pattern. Check a washed or blocked eyelet swatch before choosing your size.
Are Anna’s button bands knitted with the body?
No. The body is knitted flat and the sleeves in the round. Stitches are then picked up along the front edges to work the button bands.
