Marta designed by Julie Weisenberger
A clean, simple little cardigan with split cuff detailing and hidden waist shaping. The ribbing nicely shows off the marbled effect of the Malabrigo yarn.
Skills Needed
You must be able to knit and purl, increase, decrease, and work short rows. (Read the short rows tutorial for more information).
Pattern Includes
- Detailed, thorough instructions (with pictures).
- Email support from me, in case you have questions or get stuck.
Size
small (medium, large, x-large)
NOTE: Because this is a ribbed and open cardigan design, you will get a range of sizing. The first measurement is with the rib pattern relaxed and unstretched, the second measurement is what the cardigan will stretch to.
Finished Measurements
- Bust : 32-34 (35-38, 39-42, 43-46)"
- Length: 19 (20, 22, 24)"

Notions
There is no buttonhole in the pattern; I use a brooch to close this cardigan. You could add a button-hole to the right front band if desired.

26 rows in 4" relaxed (unstretched).
