• Product description

  Knit up a smoking jacket-style cardigan in Quarry for a plush and cozy outerlayer this autumn. The overall fabric of moss stitch creates gentle texture that shows off Quarry’s flecks and striations, and a straight torso with raglan shoulders makes Tamarack easy to wear. Choose between a short ribbed button band for the fronts or a shawl collar button band shaped with short rows. Optional patch pockets complete the look.

  Designer: Jared Flood

  Collection: Fall 2016

  NEEDLES

  Size A (for Main Fabric)

  • One 32″ circular needle and one set of double-pointed needles (DPNs)* in size needed to obtain gauge listed
  • Suggested Size: 6½ mm (US 10½)

  
  

  Size B (for Ribbing)

  • One each 32″ and 47″ circular needles and one set of DPNs* three sizes smaller than Size A
  • Suggested Size: 5 mm (US 8)

  
  

  Size C (optional; for Tubular Cast On only)

  • One 32″ circular needle and one set of DPNs* one size smaller than Size B
  • Suggested Size: 4½ mm (US 7)

  
  

  *32″ circular needle can be used instead of DPNs if using the Magic Loop method for working small circumferences in the round (e.g. Sleeves)

  
  

  Note: If you have adjusted the needle size to obtain the correct gauge, it may or may not be necessary to make a matching adjustment to the needle size used for Tubular Cast On due to variance in individual work. You may wish to test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.
