Featured Design: Aerial Cardigan by Angela Hahn

The Aerial cardigan is a seamless, raglan-style cardigan designed to be worked primarily in one piece, demonstrating advanced knitting construction techniques. This garment exemplifies modern pattern design with integrated shaping and functional closures.

Construction and Techniques

The Aerial cardigan employs a sophisticated bottom-up construction method with the following technical approach:

• Body and button bands: Worked in one continuous piece from the bottom up to the armholes, incorporating buttonholes simultaneously during the knitting process
• Sleeves: Worked in the round from cuff to armhole, ensuring seamless construction
• Yoke: Body and sleeves are joined and worked back and forth with raglan shaping for a fitted, tapered silhouette
• Buttonhole options: Pattern provides two methods—traditional buttonholes worked during knitting, or afterthought buttonholes created post-blocking using reinforcement techniques

Sizing and Fit

The Aerial cardigan is available in seven sizes ranging from 33½ inches to 57 inches bust measurement (85–145 cm). The design is intended to be worn with 2–5 inches (5–12.5 cm) of positive ease, allowing for comfortable layering and movement. Length measurements range from 22¾ to 25½ inches (58–65.5 cm), accommodating various proportions.

Yarn and Materials

The suggested yarn for the Aerial cardigan is Plymouth Yarns Equinox, a premium blend fiber offering both luxury and functionality. This yarn composition provides excellent drape and durability:

• Fiber content: 65% Extrafine Merino, 20% Linen, 15% Mulberry Silk
• Yardage: 137 yards (126 meters) per 1¾ ounce (50 gram) skein
• Yardage required: 6–11 skeins depending on size, totaling approximately 822–1,507 yards
• Color shown: #007 Gray

The Merino-Linen-Silk blend creates a sophisticated fabric suitable for both warm and transitional seasons, with the linen component providing breathability and the silk adding subtle sheen and smoothness.
