Ivy Cardigan

The Ivy Cardigan is worked in one piece from the top down, back and forth in rows. The yoke is constructed with shoulder increases first, followed by sleeve increases, and finally raglan increases. The sleeves are worked in the round using double-pointed needles or the Magic Loop method. Finally, stitches are picked up and knitted along the front edges and neckline for the bands.

Size Guide

The Ivy Cardigan is designed to have approximately 2 cm of positive ease relative to your bust circumference. Sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a body bust circumference of 75-80 (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 can be found on the first page (please note that these measurements are only accurate if the given gauge is met). Measure yourself before you begin knitting to determine which size will fit you best. If your bust circumference (or the widest part of your body) measures 90 cm, you should choose size S. A cardigan in size S has a bust circumference of 92 cm, which would provide 2 cm of positive ease in this example. A size chart can be found here.
