April Cardigan - PetiteKnit

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

Can be advantageously knitted with 1 strand of merino and 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair from us.

April Cardigan has a V-neck and is knitted from top to bottom. The yoke is constructed in such a way that shoulder increases are first knitted on the right and wrong sides. Then sleeve increases are knitted, and finally a piece with raglan increases is knitted. At the same time, increases are knitted along the front edges to shape the V-neck. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double-pointed needles or with the Magic Loop technique. Finally, stitches are picked up along the front edges, at the shoulders, and at the neck, and a button band is knitted in ribbing. Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the correct gauge.

Size guide

April Cardigan should have a positive ease of about 6-8 cm in relation to your bust measurement. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement, taken on your body, of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements of the finished cardigan are indicated on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the gauge is correct). Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size suits you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A size S cardigan has a chest width of 97 cm and will in the mentioned example give a positive ease of 7 cm.
