This cardigan is knitted seamlessly in a top-down raglan technique with a 1 x 1 rib stitch. It makes it easy to try it on along the way, so you can customize it to fit your body and end up with the perfect sleeve and body length for you. Slightly oversized with feminine silhouette.
The body is knitted flat, while the sleeves are knitted in the round. You begin by knitting the yoke at the same time making a raglan increase until the project is divided between the body and the sleeves. As of this point each part of the project is knitted separately. The body is finished with a double-knitted edge band using a seamless technique. Sleeves have a decorative pattern that is achieved by symmetrical increase and decrease of stitches.

SIZES GUIDE & MEASUREMENTS

This cardigan is  designed to have approx. 28 cm 11 inches of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 28 cm 11 inches larger in circumference than your bust measurement.

Available sizes:   S ( M ) L 

The sizes S ( M ) L are designed to fit approx. bust circumference of  80-88 (88-96) 96-104 cm 31-35 (35-38) 38-41 in

Before beginning your project, measure yourself to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 90 cm 35½ inches around your bust (or around the widest part on your upper body) you should knit a size M. A size M sweater has a bust circumference of 130 cm 39.5 inches which in the given example would give you  34cm 13.5 inches of positive ease.
