Agnes Cardigan is a timeless design with exquisite details, including saddle shoulders and a single button closure at the neckline. This makes the Agnes Cardigan perfect for pairing with tops, blouses, shirts, and more.

Procedure:

The Agnes Cardigan is knitted from the top down. First, you create the yoke by making increases. Then the sleeve stitches are put on hold, while you knit the rest of the body. Afterwards, the sleeves are knit separately. After the sleeves are finished, you knit the button bands as well as the collar.

Size XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) will correspond to a chest measurement taken on your own body of 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-105) 105-110 (110-115) cm 33.46-35.43 (35.43-37.4) 37.4-39.37 (39.37-41.34) 41.34-43.31 (43.31-45.28) inch.
