April Cardigan

This pattern is in Swedish and is sold as an A4 printout.

April Cardigan has a V-neck and is knitted from the top down. The yoke is constructed by first knitting shoulder increases on the knit and purl sides. Then sleeve increases are worked, and finally, a section with raglan increases is knitted. At the same time, increases are worked along the front edges to shape the V-neck. The sleeves are knitted in the round on double-pointed needles or using the Magic Loop technique. Finally, stitches are picked up along the front edges, at the shoulders, and at the neck, and a ribbed button band is knitted. Knit a gauge swatch to find the needle size that gives you the correct gauge.

April Cardigan should have a range of movement (positive ease) of approx. 6-8 cm relative to your bust measurement. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust measurement, measured on your body, of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The measurements of the finished cardigan are given on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the gauge is correct). Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine which size suits you best. If you, for example, measure 90 cm around the bust (or the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S. A cardigan in size S has a width of 97 cm and will, in the stated example, provide a range of movement (positive ease) of 7 cm
