With the Button Me Up cardi, you’re not just knitting one cardigan, but also a T-shirt and a vest, you get three different knitted garments and patterns in the same design! Have fun experimenting with buttons, whether old or new, the possibilities are endless!

Sizes: 1 (2) 3 (4) 5 (6) 7

Garment bust circumference: Approx. 90 (96) 100 (106) 112 (120) 127 cm

The Button Me Up Cardi has a positive ease of approximately 10–15 cm compared to your actual bust measurement. This means that if you, for example, measure 100 cm at the fullest part of your bust, size 5 will fit. If you prefer a more oversized fit, choose a larger bust circumference than your actual measurement. For a slimmer fit, choose a smaller size.
