Eva cardigan

Eva cardigan is knitted from top to bottom. 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 picked up along the shoulders, and the rest of the yoke is knitted together on the circular needle, while at the front, openings are knitted for a V-cut. The body is knitted back and forth on circular needle, and the sleeves are knitted in the round. Finally, sts are picked up along the front edges and a wide button post is worked in double rib.

Size guide

Eva cardigan should have a room for movement (positive ease) of approximately 26 cm in the smallest sizes but progressively less in the larger sizes.
The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a chest measurement measured on your own body 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 indicated on the front of the pattern. Note: These measurements only apply if the knitting tension is observed. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size will fit you best. If, for example, you measure 90 cm around the chest (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A cardigan in size S has an excess width of 116 cm and, in the example mentioned, will provide a room for movement (positive ease) of 26 cm.
