Key Cardigan - Paper

The Key Cardigan is knitted top down with raglan increases. The neckline is formed using short rows (reversible rows). The yoke and body are knitted back and forth on a circular needle, and the sleeves are knitted in the round. Finally, button bands are knitted along the front edges and along the neckline. The cardigan is knitted in a two-tone stripe pattern.

Size guide

Key Cardigan should have a positive ease of movement of approx. 24 cm in the smallest sizes, but gradually less in the largest sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust measurement of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The measurements of the finished cardigan are given on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to assess which size will fit you best. For example, if you measure 95 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your upper body), you should knit size M. A cardigan in size M has an upper width of 119 cm and in the aforementioned example will provide a range of movement (positive ease) of 24 cm.
