Maggie Cardigan- Petite Knit

This knitting pattern is in Swedish.

Can be knitted to advantage with 1 strand of merino and 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair from us.

Poppy Tee is knitted from the top down. First, the upper part of the back is knitted with increases. The shoulder sections are then knitted from picked up stitches at the top of the back piece. Stitches are then picked up along the shoulder sections and the rest of the yoke is knitted together on the circular needle, first back and forth and then around. The torso is knitted in the round on circular needle and the sleeves are knitted in the round on double pointed needles or with Magic Loop technology. Finally, a double-fold elastic edge with built-in double knitting is knitted in the neckline.

Knit a test patch to find the stitch size that gives you the right stitch strength. Wash the sample before measuring the stick strength. If you knit with the recommended yarn, you should be aware that this can grow after washing - therefore it is important that you wash the sample before measuring the knitting strength.

Size guide

Poppy Tee should have a range of motion (positive ease) of approximately 5 cm. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement, measured on the body, of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) ) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements of the finished blouse 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 blouse in size S has an excess width of 96 cm and in the mentioned example will give a range of movement (positive ease) of 6 cm.
