MILLE for men
Introducing the MILLE knitting pattern, a beautifully designed garment worked seamlessly from the top down. This stylish piece features raglan shaping for a comfortable fit, coupled with casual pockets and an elegant shawl collar, making it a perfect addition to any wardrobe.
MATERIALS:
For this project, we recommend using KREMKE SOULWOOL BABYALPACA, which boasts a luxurious blend of 100% Baby Alpaca. Each skein contains 100 meters per 50 grams, ensuring a soft and warm fabric that feels wonderful against the skin.
BUTTONS:
You will need 5 to 6 buttons, each measuring approximately 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) to add the finishing touch to your MILLE cardigan.
NEEDLES:
To achieve the best results, use circular needles and double pointed needles (or the magic loop technique) in sizes US7 (4.5 mm) and US6 (4.0 mm). Alternatively, choose any needle size that helps you meet the required gauge.
GAUGE:
It is essential to check your gauge to ensure your cardigan fits perfectly. Aim for 21 stitches x 28 rows on the larger needles, in stockinette stitch over a 4 x 4 inch (10 x 10 cm) square, after washing.
YARDAGE:
The total yardage required varies by size: for XS, you'll need 1564 yards (1430 m); size S requires 1641 yards (1500 m); size M needs 1805 yards (1650 m); size L uses 1915 yards (1750 m); size XL calls for 2079 yards (1900 m); and size 2XL will need 2188 yards (2000 m). Be sure to choose enough yarn for your project to ensure a seamless knitting experience!
