The Olive Cardigan is a soft and feminine cardigan knitted in pure textured knitting. The cardigan's design has no buttonholes or button bands as the idea is that it should be worn open. If you want the cardigan to have buttons, you can sew in small buttons and have a closure on the opposite side. The buttons can have a diameter of up to about 12mm.
The cardigan is knitted from top to bottom with a ribbed edge at the 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 "guiding bust measurement" as a reference and choose the right size based on that.
