Description

The Cat Field Cardigan is a top-down cardigan available in eleven different adult sizes.
This cardigan is knitted in one piece, top-down with increases on the yoke. Short rows are worked at the top of the yoke to raise the back neck for a better fit.

The cardigan is knitted in stranded colorwork in one piece and then cut open (steeked) at the front. You pick up and knit stitches for the front bands at the end.

Note: This cardigan is designed to be worn with 15-20 cm / 6 – 8” positive ease around the chest. However, this is just a guide. To choose the most appropriate size, measure the wearer’s chest and add the preferred ease. Or measure the circumference of an already-owned sweater/cardigan that fits well. Then find the closest finished chest circumference.
