The Spelunking Cardigan is a waist-length lacy cardigan, featuring a lace edging along the bottom edge and on the sleeve cuffs.
The lace motif reminds me of stalactites and stalagmites found in caves – hence the name.
The body of the cardigan is knit in one piece to the armholes. Sleeves are knit flat and sewn to the body.

Hi,
I am very glad that you published the pattern for this lovely cardigan.
You wrote, that you got 22 stitches for 4″ after blocking.
And the number of stitches before blocking ?
Thanks !

The number of stitches before blocking will vary depending on the knitter. My best suggestion is to knit a swatch and block it.
