Leeni Hoimela - Rose Cardigan Pattern English

Sizes: XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL)

Level: 3 of 5

Effortless stitch pattern is comfortable to work flat as a cardigan, even more so than plain stockinette stitch - no striping effect from knit and purl rows. The cardigan is worked seamlessly flat from the top down. First, cast on stitches for the neckline and work the raglan yoke, separate sleeve stitches from the body and work the body. Then, work the sleeves. Finally, pick up stitches from the front and neck and work the button band. Buttons will finish off the look. The stitch pattern is delightfully easy to knit and resembles a bubbly rosé drink.

SIZE GUIDE

The cardigan is designed to be worn with approx. 0-10 cm / 0-4” of positive ease at bust - so the cardigan has a rather snug fit.

First, measure your own bust (or your widest upper body part). Then, add 0-10 cm / 0-4” to your bust circumference. Compare that number to the finished measurements (above) and choose the closest size. You can also measure your favourite cardigan. Pictured in size S.
