Blue sweater is shown in Size 1 with no ease; brown sweater is shown in Size 3 with approximately 2.5”/6.5 cm positive ease. For a fitted cardigan, choose the size that is closest to your actual chest measurement, even if it is slightly smaller. This ribbed fabric has lots of stretch. For a classically fitted cardigan, choose the size that is 2-6”/5-15 cm larger than actual chest. Pattern includes suggested sleeve lengths for men and women.

Pattern is written for adventurous beginning level knitters comfortable with basic increasing and decreasing while tracking a simple stitch pattern.
