Selection of yarn for knitting recipe for men's cardigan
Knitted stockings and sweaters are most often stored for winter because they are too hot for the summer season. Here is a cardigan more universal, because it can also be used nicely on cool summer evenings, where it can be nice to have a cardigan that you can take on outside the t-shirt. If you want to make a cardigan more suitable for the summer season, you may want to choose to use a yarn quality, which is a mixture between wool and cotton. Cotton is not nearly as hot as woolen yarn, which makes it suitable for the summer season. If, on the other hand, you want to make a really hot cardigan for the winter, you can use yarn in 100 % wool.
Get the perfect fit in a knit cardigan for men
The fit is really important when knitting clothes and therefore it may be a good idea to test your Knitting gauge, before you start the project. You do this by doing a small knitting test so you can test if it matches the knitting strength in the recipe. If you knit too tight, it will be too small, which means you need to switch to a larger stick. If, on the other hand, you knit too loosely, the knitting test will be too big and then you have to switch to a smaller stick.
