Such a well fitting cardigan!
This is the only top-down, tailorknitted sleeve I’ve come across, and it fits so well.

Form and fit:

Inge has developed the asymmetrical “tailorknitted” sleeve, that will still allow you to knit topdown without the need to seam in the sleeves.
Furthermore, when buying the pattern, you get an individual online fitting session, to make sure the pattern matches you own measurements. You get a pattern, specified to you personally, that will easily match different yarns and styles.

Elias asked for a bit of positive ease, to be able to wear the cardigan comfortably over a (heavy) shirt too. He has approx. 7 cm. of positive ease in his cardigan.
The sleeve is perfect, no bulk under arms!
He is very satisfied with the result!

Yarn:
Yarn is a favourite of mine. It’s rustic, with a bit of nature left in the spun yarn, and has great texture and depth.

Difficulty:
This is not a beginners pattern, as you will need to keep track of different sets of increases/decreases.
You also need to be comfortable with knitting a lateral chain along the edges and steek your garment.
Still, Inge offers both a lot of in-depth explanations and a big collection of videos to guide you, so for the adventurous beginner, maybe?

No mods, knit as per pattern.

Thank you, Inge for trusting me with your Darling
