The Olive Cardigan is a soft and feminine cardigan knitted in pure textured stitch. The cardigan’s design has no buttonholes or button bands as it is intended to be worn open. If you want the cardigan to have buttons, you can sew on small buttons and have a closure on the opposite side. The buttons can have a diameter of up to approximately 12mm.
The cardigan is knitted top-down with a ribbed neckline. Then you knit back and forth according to the charts before the body and sleeves are finished with a ribbed edge.
The Olive Cardigan is designed so that the cardigan’s measurements are larger than your own bust measurement, a so-called positive ease. When choosing a size, you can therefore advantageously use the “recommended bust measurement” as a reference and select the right size accordingly.
