Pattern Anael Cardigan for Adults

Anael is a beautiful shaped long cardigan, decorated allover with different cables.
The valances make it very romantic and feminine.
Simply great for feeling like a princess.

The pattern is already existing as pattern for children. So you can make a mother and child - outfit.

The length is about 4 inches above knee. If you want to make it longer, you will need more yarn. If you want to make it shorter, you will need less yarn.

The cardigan gets heavy with length and valance, so keep an eye on the weight of the yarn when considering which yarn to use for the cardigan.

I started with buttons and buttonholes to the waist as I wanted it to be open from the waist downwards.

6 buttons 15 mm Ø
I started with buttons and buttonholes to the waist as I wanted it to be open from the waist downwards. If you want to have buttons over the whole length you need more buttons. The spacing between 2 buttons are 6 cm – for the entire length you need another 6 to 7 buttons (depending if you want to start with the buttons in the valance or not).

Needles: 4 mm (US 6) circular needle min. 80 cm / 32'' length, you need it for the valance
1 additional double point needle (help-needle) also size 4 mm (US 6)
1 crochet hook size 3.50 mm (E-4)

Gauges: 24 stitches, 34 rows to 10 cm / 4'' knitted with 4 mm (US 6) needles -
Stockinette stitch, blocked
