PetiteKnit - Key Cardigan
Opgelet! Dit breipatroon is een Engelstalig gedrukt A5-boekje dat dient te worden verstuurd.
The Key Cardigan is worked from the top down and its yoke is shaped with raglan increases. The neckline is shaped using short rows. The yoke and the body are worked back and forth on a circular needle, while the sleeves are worked in the round. At the end, plackets are worked along the front edges and along the neck. The cardigan is worked in a two-colored stranded stripe pattern.
Size Guide
The Key Cardigan is designed to have approx. 24 cm [9½ inches] of positive ease for the smaller sizes and then gradually less for the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches]. The measurements for the finished sweater can be found on the front page of the pattern. Measure yourself before beginning your project, to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 95 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size M. A Key Cardigan in size M has a bust circumference of 119 cm [46¾ inches], which in the given example would give you 24 cm [9½ inches] of positive ease.
