Berkeley Cardigan
Lion Brand® LB Collection® Silk Mohair
GAUGE: 18 sts + 24 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in St st (k on RS, p on WS). BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION: M1 as if to purl (make 1 st as if to purl) An increase worked by lifting the horizontal thread lying between the needles and placing it onto the left needle. Purl this new stitch through the back loop.
ssk (slip, slip, knit) Sl next 2 sts as if to knit, one at a time, to right needle; insert left needle into fronts of these 2 sts and knit them tog.
sk2p Sl 1 as if to knit, k2tog, pass slipped st over—2 sts dec.

| Berkeley Cardigan Reviewed by Louise Thompson on 2012-06-24 |

| I made this from soft baby yarn, DK weight, and shortened it about 4 inches. It's getting rave reviews and not just by me. I'm now wanting to try it in the even lighter weight yarn called for in the pattern.
