Cool Autumn Cardigan is a cool basic cardigan with a timeless look. It is slightly oversized with wide rib edges.
Cool Autumn Cardigan is worked top-down. The cardigan is started at the neck, from where the stitches for the shoulder is picked up. Then the yoke and neckline are formed. The stitches for the sleeves are picked up and knitted from the armhole, with short rows to ensure the right form. The yoke is worked in the flat. The two sections from the yoke is joined to form the body. All rib edges are knitted on 3 mm needles, while the rest of the cardigan is worked on 4mm needles.
The method provisional cast-on and tubular bind-off are used for the cardigan.
There is positive ease of approximately 5-10 cm. Measure your bust circumference to find the right size. E.g. if your bust circumference is 98 cm, you should knit size M.
Make sure the tension is correct. Make a swatch to find the right needle size for you. Note! The gauge is stated after washing. The recommended yarn might change it’s tension when washed.
