Novice Cardigan Mohair Edition - PetiteKnit

This knitting pattern is in Swedish. It is perfectly suitable to knit with two strands of Silk Mohair from Isager.

The Novice Cardigan – Mohair Edition is knit from the top down. That means you start by knitting the ribbing at the neckline, then the yoke, followed by the body, and finally the sleeves. The cardigan is knit in stockinette stitch, while the edges are knit in ribbing.

The Novice Cardigan – Mohair Edition has a round yoke. It is shaped by gradually knitting increases evenly distributed over four rows on the yoke.

Size guide and measurements

Note that you can only rely on the measurements in the pattern if the gauge is maintained.

The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement of approximately 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The Novice Cardigan – Mohair Edition should have a positive ease of about 10 cm (i.e., the cardigan should be about 10 cm larger than your body circumference). This means that if you, for example, measure 90 cm around your bust (measure yourself with a tape measure around the bust or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S, which has a chest circumference of 100 cm. This gives you a positive ease of 10 cm.
