Birdie Cardi
The pattern is no longer available. I’m writing a new version.
Birdie is a basic but original seamless v-neck cardigan mostly worked flat, from the top down with a very easy lace motif.
The garment is closer around the chest and softly draped on the hips with raglan short sleeves.
The cardigan is designed for a little close-fitting on the upper part of garment.
Please choose a size closer to your actual measurements.
However, the simple construction makes Birdie extremely easy to customize!
Sizes: XS (S, M, L, XL, 2XL, 3XL)
Finished chest circumference : 30 (33, 35, 39, 43, 47, 51) inches/ 76 (83, 89, 99, 110, 120, 130) cm.
The cardigan is designed for a little close-fitting on the upper part of garment. 0-1 inch/0-3 cm of negative ease is recommended.
Sample shown XS size worn with 1 inch of negative ease.
Gauge (after blocking) :
16 sts & 28 rows = 4 inches/10 cm in stst on larger needle with a very loose gauge

or a lightweight yarn using larger needle.
