Eva Cardigan- Junior

You can advantageously knit with the soft 1 thread Cumbria. 

Eva Cardigan Junior 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

Eva Cardigan Junior should have a range of motion (positive ease) of approx. 18 cm in relation to the bust measurement. Sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-11) 11-12 (12-13) 13 -14 years corresponds to a bust measurement of around 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (75) 78 (80) 82 cm. The measurements of the finished cardigan are given on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the knit strength is maintained). If you/the recipient e.g. measures 57 cm around the chest, you should knit a size 4-5 years. A cardigan in size 4-5 years has a width of 79 cm and in the mentioned example will give a range of motion (positive ease) of 22 cm. If the measured bust measurement deviates from the age guide, you should pay attention to adapt the length to the person you are knitting for. The same applies if the child is shorter/taller than average.
