Eva Cardigan

You can advantageously knit with 1 thread Cumbria, Lore. or Hillesvåg Varde.

Eva Cardigan is knitted from the top down. First, the upper part of the back is knitted with increases, after which the shoulders are knitted based on stitches picked up at the top of the back piece. Stitches are then picked up along the shoulders, and the rest of the yoke is knitted together on the circular needle, while at the front, increases are knitted to form a V-neckline. The torso is knitted back and forth on circular needle, and the sleeves are knitted in the round. Finally, sts are picked up along the front edges to knit a wide button placket in double elastic.

Size guide

The Eva Cardigan should have a range of motion (positive ease) of approximately 26 cm in the smallest sizes but gradually less in the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement, measured on the body, of 75-80 (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 given on the front of the pattern. Note: These measurements only apply if the stick strength is maintained. Measure yourself before you start knitting, to determine which size will fit you best. If you e.g. measures 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A cardigan in size S has an overall width of 116 cm and in the mentioned example will give a range of movement (positive ease) of 26 cm.
