Knitting pattern - Ruke Moon cardigan

The Ruke Moon cardigan is an oversized cardigan worked from the top down. The body is worked straight, which makes it easy to adjust the length to your preference. If you choose to make the cardigan longer, note that the yarn quantity and the number of buttons may need to be adjusted as well. The sleeves are shaped into large balloon sleeves and gathered at the cuffs, which gives the cardigan its soft and voluminous silhouette. The hem has side slits, adding more movement and a relaxed look. The front band is worked in double knitting and finished with four buttons. The whole cardigan is worked in a beautiful textured stitch pattern that highlights the beauty of the yarn. The cardigan is knitted using 3.5mm needles, which creates a lighter and thinner fabric. The knit is worked in Isager Jensen yarn. Ruke Moon cardigan is a statement piece with a calm but expressive silhouette - easy to wear, feminine, and special at the same time.
