KARLA CAPE
The cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down. First,
the back yoke is worked, and then short rows are worked across
the shoulders to create a perfect fit. The fronts are worked
similarly after the back yoke is completed. The back and front
yoke pieces are joined at the underarms to form the body, which
is worked back and forth to the hem. After this, stitches are
picked up and knitted for the neck edge, which is worked back
and forth, and then the front edges are worked the same way. At
the end, stitches are picked up and knitted along the armholes
for the sleeves, which are worked with short rows along the top
part to optimize the fit. All edges are worked in twisted rib and
bound off using the Italian bind-off technique.

It varies from person to person how much positive ease you like in your clothes. It can be a good idea to measure some of your favorite cardigans to help you choose the perfect size for you.
I have 37 cm of positive ease in the light version of KARLA CAPE which is length 1.
I have 60 cm of positive ease in the caramel colored version, which is also length 1.
