The Vaddel pattern comes with two separate downloads in one purchase, one for the cardigan version and one for the sweater.

Both versions are worked top down with compound raglan shaping in the yoke. The sweater is worked in the round (after neck shaping) and the cardigan back and forth (for the body). The sleeves on both versions are worked in the round.

Vaddel uses 3 contrast colors for the simple slip stitch pattern but more or less can be used. This will of course affect yardage used.

Yardage for the MC is slightly more for the cardigan and therefore the yardages are listed separately below.

I have made a Youtube video giving an overview of construction and how to think about adjustments.
