Knitting gauge: 17 sts x 19 rows on needles size 5.5 mm with Vivaldi in wavy lace pattern = 10 x 10 cm.

Wavy lace pattern: See diagrams M.1 & M.2. The diagrams are seen from the right side.

Bend the circular needle in the middle and cast on 148-184 sts (including 5 edge sts each side, knitted in garter sts throughout) on 2 needles size 5.5 with Vivaldi (use 2 needles to make the edge more elastic). Pull out 1 needle and knit 2 rows of garter sts (1st row = the right side). Continue in M.1 with 5 edge sts each side – see diagram for the relevant size. Insert a marking thread in the 40 – 49 st from each side = 68-86 sts between the marking threads for the back piece – let the marking threads follow the piece as you go along. When the piece measures 22-23 cm – adjust so the next row is the last row in M.1 – bind off 11-15 sts each side for armhole (= the st where the marking threads are inserted + 5-7 sts on each side) = 34-41 sts left for each front piece and 58-72 sts left for back piece. Put the work aside and knit the sleeves.

Sleeves: The sleeves can be knitted in 2 different lengths; see the measurement chart (the design in the photo is knitted with the shorter version). Cast on 46-58 sts over 2 needles size 5.5 with Vivaldi. Pull out 1 needle and distribute the sts on the double pointed needles and knit round. Insert a marking thread at the beginning of round = the centre underneath the sleeve. K 1 round and P 1 round. Continue in M.1 – remember diagram for the correct size. When the piece measures 5 cm (short sleeve) or 15 cm (longer sleeve)– adjust so the next row is the last in M.1 – bind off 12-14 sts underneath the sleeve = 34-44 sts left. Put the sleeve aside and knit another one.

Yoke: Put the sleeves in on the same circular needle as the front and back piece, where you bound off for the armholes = 194-242 sts on row. Now knit and bind off according to M.2, but continue to knit the 5 edge sts each side in garter sts – 1st row = right side. After 1 repeat of M.2 in the vertical length there are 98-130 sts left on needle. Continue knitting the last 4 rows of M.2 until the piece measures 19-21 cm from the beginning of the yoke. Now K 1 row from the right side, at the same adjusting number of sts evenly on row to 84-100 (do not dec at front edges). P 1 row from the wrong side and bind off loosely in K sts from the right side – in order not to make the edge too tight, make a yo every 6 th st whilst binding off (knit and bind off the yo’s as sts).

Assembly: Sew the openings under arms. Crochet a border along the sleeves edges and all along the opening of the cardigan (this means around the neck, along the front edges and along the bottom edge) on hook side 3 with Cotton Viscose as follows: crochet 1 dc in the 1st st, *3 ch, skip a st, 1 dc in the next st*, repeat from *-* and finish with 3 ch and 1 sl st in the 1st dc from beginning of round. Hold the cardigan together with a broche or similar.
