Novice Cardigan - Chunky Edition - Knitting Pattern by PetiteKnit

The Novice Cardigan – Mohair Edition is worked from the top down. This means that you start with the neckband, then work the yoke, and then knit the body and sleeves. The cardigan is worked in stockinette stitch, while the edgings are worked in ribbing.

The Novice Cardigan – Mohair Edition has a round yoke. This is created by working increases 4 times, evenly distributed throughout the yoke.

Size guide and measurements

Please note that you can only rely on the given measurements if your gauge swatch matches.

Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL correspond to a bust circumference of approx. 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm. The Novice Cardigan – Mohair Edition should have a positive ease of approx. 10 cm (this means that the cardigan's bust circumference is approximately 10 cm larger than your bust circumference). This means that if, for example, you have measured a bust circumference of 90 cm (measure yourself with a tape measure at the widest part of your body), you should knit a size S, as this has a bust circumference of 100 cm. This provides a positive ease of 10 cm.
