SIZE GUIDE

Note! The measurements below are the indicated body measurements. The cardigan has around 15 cm /
3” positive ease meaning that the finished cardigan for S/M will be 110 cm / 42” in bust measurements.
If you want a tighter fit then choose one size smaller.

STARTING THE PATTERN

I recommend that you read through the pattern to get an overall picture of what you will be doing.
The pattern is made in one body piece starting with the back that then splits into 2 front pieces.
The back section is done in HDC and the front in a lace repeat. The cardigan is sewn on the sides
leaving holes for the arms. Sleeves are made in the round on the body piece. In the end you will add
a ribbing and pockets.

The instructions for the front do not count stitches but instead counts patterns. See picture below
for reference. The pattern is tricky to keep on gauge because of chaining a lot in the pattern, that
means that it can get too big or too tight. Measure the width of the piece many times the first 10 cm
/4” in height and go either down or up a size or change hook size if needed. Small variations are ok
(up to 5 cm /2”).

Sewing
