ABOUT THE WORK
Cute Collar Cardigan is a cool cardigan with a high collar and crocheted buttonhole posts, which give it a bit of delicious retro vibes. It is knitted from top to bottom on needle size 10, with raglan removals and purl rows along all edges.
The pattern is simple and clear, even for the slightly less experienced knitter, and with thick needles it's a quick project that's done before you know it.

Movement space: Approx. 10 cm. Measure yourself at the widest point on your chest and add 10cm to your measurement. Choose the closest size, or go down a size for a tighter version, or up a size for a looser oversize knit.
General tips for choosing yarn alternatives:
When choosing yarn alternatives, it is important to make a knitting test to ensure that you achieve the same knitting strength as recommended in the recipe. If the yarn is a little thinner or thicker, you can adjust the number of threads or choose a different needle size.
Also consider the texture and appearance of the yarn. Nepal has a firm structure, while Melody is soft and light. If you want to keep the airy feel, consider other lightweight yarns such as mohair, blown yarn or alpaca blends.
