Anastasia cardigan
The Anastasia cardigan is a classical top down, worked starting from the neck it is worked flat, except for the sleeves; after having casted on the stitches you need to start right away with the increases for the back, the sleeves and the two halves of the front, you need to take into account the increases for the raglan and, at the same time, for the V-neck.
The border will be made later, picking up all the stitches from the front and the neck, and it includes the buttonholes on the right side.
The sleeves are worked with the magic loop technique, picking up the stitches left on hold at the end of the yoke and making in the centre the decreases you need to tighten the sleeves at the wrist level.
The shown model corresponds to a Medium size, with a positive ease around 15 cm.
Always bear in mind that the knitting needles size is just a suggestion: everyone works with a different tension, so a knitted piece worked by two people, with equal yarn and stitches, could be very different in terms of tension and measurements.
I therefore recommend making a swatch, flat or round depending on how the knitting is made, in order to have more than 10 x 10 cm to measure. If necessary, knit some stitches/row in garter stitch to avoid curling work and be at an advantage in the measurement.
The swatch is knitted in a stockinette stitch or with a different stitch depending on the stitch that you intend to use in your work; once finished and removed from the iron, stretch the swatch (better still would be to make measurements after washing it) and measure the number of stitches and rows corresponding to 10 cm.
