tric

Tric is an A-line shaped cardigan with strong and simple lines, knitted in one piece from the centre back collar down to the hem, collar, front bands and all.

The top has a tailored fit with (top-down-in-the-round) set-in sleeves, while the body is flatteringly flared by a rib triangle in back.

The technique used is  Åsa’s Top-Down Ziggurat Tricnique.

Step-by-step instructions and a photo tutorial guide you through the unusual beginning, which involves a bit of zigging, zagging, and zipping back and forth before you’re off and sooner at the hem than you’d thought.

Sizes available
81 (86, 91, 97, 102) [107, 112, 117, 122, 127] cm; 32 (34, 36, 38, 40) [42, 44, 46, 48, 50] in

A note on yardage
To make best use of your skeins, work the sleeves before joining the third skein for the body. Then you can knit the body as long as you wish or as far as your yarn takes you.
For example, the sample size 40 used up exactly 5 skeins of (tosh merino DK) in this way. The pattern lists 6 skeins for that size to be on the safe side, but you could do it with five.

Approximate yarn requirements based on the sample in size 40:
790 (820, 880, 920, 1030) 1100, 1160, 1190, 1320, 1350
But please go by the recommended number of skeins. The lower and approximate yardages are listed only to help you get an idea of whether you could get away with less than the recommended number of skeins – and only if you are willing to finish the sleeves before the body and/or adjust the length of sleeves and/or body as you go.
