Finished chest circumference 31 (33¼, 35¼, 37, 39, 41, 43½, 46¼, 50, 54¼) inches/79 (84.5, 89.5, 94, 99, 104, 110.5, 117, 127, 138) cm.
The sweater is intended to be worn with a little bit of positive ease at the chest. Please choose a size with 1-2 inches/2.5-5 cm of positive ease compared to your actual measurements.
Materials:
Approx. 1030 (1100, 1170, 1280, 1350, 1460, 1560, 1700, 1840, 2000) yards/940 (1005, 1070, 1170, 1235, 1335, 1425, 1555, 1680, 1830) meters of sport/light DK weight yarn.
About choosing yarn: the cardigan is designed with autumn in mind so think rich, warm colours and soft yarns next to the skin. For my sample I used a pure wool yarn (164 yards/150 meters per 50 gr) in a deep gold shade. Please note that the sweater is designed to be cropped. If you want to add length to the garment you will need more yardage and extra buttons.

US6/4mm and US5/3.75mm DPNs (optional for sleeves).
