Kit Contains:

Note: This kit requires US 17 (12 mm) circular needles 32’’ (80 cm).  For sleeves and cuffs you will need to use magic loop method when using size US 17 (12 mm) circular needles 32’’ (80 cm).  To avoid magic loop for sleeves and cuffs you can use an additional size US 17 (12 mm) 20’’ (50 cm) circulars OR US 17 (12 mm) DPN’s.

Note: Recluse Cardigan is one of the exclusive styles from "Loopy Mango Knitting" book, so this DIY Kit includes the full pattern book.

If you already have the book and would like to purchase the materials separately, you can find the yarn here and needles here

NOTE: A tapestry needle may be helpful when seaming and securing all loose ends.

Buttons can be added to this style to make it your signature piece.

Care: Hand wash or machine wash cold, tumble dry. Please test any washing/drying method on a small swatch to ensure you like the end result. As our cotton is chunky, un-mercerized, and minimally processed to preserve the fiber’s natural softness and elasticity, it is more prone to shedding. Washing and drying should help alleviate this. For further information and tips, please consult our Fiber Care Guide

Yarn made in Italy, kit assembled in the USA.

Shown in Amethyst, Barely Pink, Misty Morning, and Castaway.
