Construction

Size guide
Peacock Cardigan fine is designed with approx. 10-16 cm 4-6.25” of positive ease, allowing you to choose how loose or fitted you’d like it to be. In the photo, the cardigan is shown with a positive ease of approx. 13 cm 5”.
Find your personal bust circumference by measuring around your chest (or the largest part of your upper body). Then, compare this measurement to the finished garment measurements listed at the beginning of the pattern. Positive ease is the difference between your body measurement and the measurements of the cardigan. For example, if your bust circumference is 94 cm 37”, a size M will give you a positive ease of 9 cm 3.5”m – 94 cm = 9 cm) 40.5” - 37” = 3.5”.
The length is measured at the center back (excl. the neckline).
