Amy Sweater - PetiteKnit Knitting Pattern

The No Frills Cardigan is a long cardigan worked top-down with raglan increases. The cardigan is worked in stockinette stitch, but a ribbing is worked at the neck, which continues down the front edges. Finally, internal pockets are made from picked-up stitches on the front of the cardigan.

Size guide

The No Frills Cardigan should have a positive ease of approx. 20 cm in relation to your bust circumference. Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL fit a body bust circumference 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 can be found on the front of the pattern. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine the size that best fits you. 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 110 cm and would in this case have a positive ease of 20 cm.
