Loveknit Scrap Yarn Cardigan JUNIOR

The cardigan is knitted using all kinds of different leftover yarns. For ours, we used 10 different colours. This cardigan is knitted from leftover skeins of Kid Silk Mohair, wound into 6-strand balls. If you have leftover Kid Silk in different shades, you can easily wind them together into 6 strands, as long as the two shades are somewhat similar. For example, you can absolutely wind orange, pink and light pink together.

The six strands create a beautiful colour effect. You can also use thicker yarn or leftovers from another yarn quality. The cardigan is knitted on 9 mm needles. The gauge is approximately 10 sts = 10 cm.

You will need a 9 mm circular needle, 60 or 80 cm long, and a 7 mm circular needle of the same length for the ribbing. You will also need a small, sharp pair of scissors, e.g. embroidery scissors.

Sizes: 4–6 (6–8) 8–10 (10–12) 12–14 years.
