Tara Cardigan Design

Yarn – 7 skeins Wool and the Gang alpachino merino in the color ivory.

Needles- Size 12mm (US 17) straight needles.

Knitting Level- Easy

The Tara cardigan is knit using a super soft alpachino merino wool from Wool and the Gang. Using my classic method of larger needles than the recommended, the softness of this piece is extraordinary. Really, you’re just going to want to squish it. And feel free to do so.

This cardigan is knit flat using size 12mm or US 17 straight needles. I’m often asked where my needles are from, and they’re all Wool and the Gang or We Are Knitters. I love their needles! I’ve had them for many years and haven’t had any issues.

The skills used are basic. You’ll need to know the longtail cast on, stockinette stitch, 1×1 twisted rib, increases (for the sleeves and ruffle), bind off, and picking up stitches.
