The cardigan is knitted from top to bottom, back and forth on a circular needle with short rows in the back. The button-bands are worked at the same time as the rest but in garter stitch. After the neckline, you work a structure based on garter- and stockinette stitch with circular increases. This is a nice cardigan that suits many different occasions. Recommended range of motion is 0-5 cm. The cardigan is worked with 2 strands, one strand thin silk mohair and one strand merino wool. If you don't want mohair, you can choose to knit with a single thread in a thicker merino yarn.
