LOVE HEARTS CARDIGAN KNITTING PATTERN AND YARN

Knitting kit with yarn and free digital knitting pattern for a women’s knitted jacket. Soft and cozy cardigan for women, knitted in our brushed alpaca BonBon. The jacket is knitted back and forth in stocking stitch, top down with raglan increases. Reverse rows at the neck. Button placket is knitted at the end.

Same recipe for stripes and solid color but divided into two products to make it easier to find the right style from the pictures.

FIT
The jacket is designed with a positive ease of movement of approx. 15–20 cm in relation to the body’s chest/upper girth, which provides a roomy fit. If your upper girth measured around the chest (or the widest point of your upper body) is 92 cm, size M will fit best. This corresponds to a range of movement of approx. 20 cm.

If you are between sizes, or are unsure of the desired fit, it is recommended to measure the width of a garment you like and choose a size based on this. The length of the body and sleeves can be easily adjusted along the way - try the garment on and finish at the desired length.

Please note that the measurements given assume that the knitting tension is adhered to. It is therefore important to choose the correct needle size to achieve the stated knitting tension.

You will also need a needle for thread attachment, scissors, measuring tape
