PetiteKnit Balloon Cardigan - Physical pattern

This item is a physical copy of the PetiteKnit Balloon Cardigan pattern in A5 colour booklet form. The PetiteKnit Balloon Cardigan can, for example, be knitted in Sandnes Garn Sunday held with Sandnes Garn Tynn Silk Mohair.

The Balloon Cardigan is a short cardigan with balloon sleeves accentuated by a tight rib at the wrist. It is worked top down and closed in the front with 4 buttons. The button bands are worked in one piece together with the rest of the cardigan - this means that the Balloon Cardigan requires little to no finishing at all.

• Sizing: The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL correspond to a bust circumference of about 85 (90) 95 (100) 110 cm. Before beginning your project, measure yourself with a measuring tape around your bust (or your widest upper body part) to determine which size will fit you the best. The Balloon Cardigan is designed to have approx. 15 cm of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. 15 cm larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The size of the finished sweater is 100 (106) 111 (116) 123 cm. The measurements are achieved if the sweater is knitted to the correct gauge. Example sizing: if your bust circumference is 90 cm and you knit a size S, your sweater will have a bust circumference of 106 cm which would give you 16 cm of positive ease.
