Eva Cardigan Junior - Paper

Eva Cardigan Junior is knitted from the top down. First, the upper part of the back is knitted with increases. The shoulders are then knitted from the collected stitches at the top of the back piece. Stitches are gathered along the shoulders, and the rest of the body piece is knitted together on the circular needle, while at the front, openings are knitted for a V-cut. The body is worked back and forth on circular needle, and the sleeves are worked in the round. Finally, stitches are gathered along the front edges, and there a wide buttonhole is worked in double rib.

Size guide

Eva Cardigan Junior should have a movement room (positive ease) of approx. 18-24 cm in relation to the chest measurement. The sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-11) 11-12 (12-13) 13-14 years correspond to a chest measurement of approximately 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (75) 78 (80) 82 cm. The measurements of the finished cardigan are indicated on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the knitting strength is respected). If you/the recipient, for example, measures 57 cm around the chest, you should knit a size 4-5 years. A cardigan in size 4-5 year olds have an excess width of 79 cm and in the mentioned example will give a room for movement (positive ease) of 22 cm. If the measured chest measurement deviates from the age guide, you should be aware of adapting the lengths to the person you are knitting for. The same applies if the child is lower/higher than the average.
