This knitting pattern is in Swedish.
We knitted this in Norwegian yarn Blåne together with two strands of Silk Mohair from Isager.
The Sunday Cardigan is knitted from the top down with one strand of Inca Wool and two strands of silk mohair. The yoke is knitted back and forth in ribbing with increases, and the front edges are knitted at the same time. The sleeves on the Sunday Cardigan are extra long. The neckline edge is folded and sewn to the inside. The buttonholes are made last (i.e., not knitted as you go) by sewing around the edge with buttonhole stitches.
NOTE: Before you start, you should make a swatch and test if the gauge gives you the correct tension of 12 stitches per 10 cm. If you knit a bit tightly, you may need to use size 8 mm needles. If the gauge is not correct, the size will change significantly.
Size guide
The Sunday Cardigan should have a positive ease of 8-12 cm in relation to your bust measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL correspond to a bust measurement of about 85 (90) 95 (100) 110 cm. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size fits you best. For example, if you measure 90 cm around your bust, you should knit a size S.
