Description
The pattern (PDF, German) can be purchased directly from the designer; it is not included in the yarn kit.
Yarn kit for the No-Frills Cardigan by PetiteKnit.
The cardigan is a long jacket worked from the top down with raglan increases. You can pair this charming coat with casual outfits; it is a must-have for every season.
Thin and lightweight, it does not stretch out and fits perfectly. The emphasis on vertical lines creates a lengthening effect and is incredibly flattering.
The cardigan is knitted in stockinette stitch with ribbed trims, making it simple and timeless! Without buttons, this lightweight coat is easy to wear and goes with everything.
You knit your No-Frills Cardigan seamlessly from the top down using Tynn Peer Gynt and Tynn Silk Mohair from Sandnes Garn. Together, these two yarns create the perfect combination for lightweight, thin, yet wonderfully soft knitted garments.
Size guide
The cardigan should have approximately 20 cm of positive ease in relation to your bust circumference.
Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a body bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm.
The finished cardigan measurements can be found on the front page of the pattern.
Take your own measurements before you start knitting to determine which size fits you best.
If your bust circumference (or the widest part of your body) measures 90 cm, you should choose size S. A size S cardigan has a bust circumference of 110 cm and would therefore have 20 cm of positive ease in this case.
