Port Vell Cardigan

> Purchase 4 patterns from my Ravelry > Store and **get the fourth one for free**! > Add them to your cart and the cheaper > one will be for free! **This pattern has been professionally tech edited.** Port Vell is inspired by the timeless knit and purl motives of gansey sweaters, which I adore! This cropped cardigan features three-quarter-length sleeves and three distinctive panels of knit-and-purl textures. The modified raglan construction ensures a perfect fit at the shoulders and a comfortable neckline. The sample is knit in *Wensely Worsted* by La Bien Aimée, a beautiful yarn with a lovely stitch definition. Port Vell Cardigan is the companion pattern to the super popular [Port Vell Cowl][1], which I created last year for my favorite knitting festival, Barcelona Knits. The Port Vell Cardigan is worked from the top down with raglan increases on the yoke and a round neck. The button plackets and neckband are picked up and knit in 2x2 ribbing in a contrast color. The cuff and hem can also be worked in a contrast color. **Size Guide** The Port Vell cardigan is designed for a regular fit, with an approximate ease of 5-10 cm (meaning it is designed to be 5-10 cm larger than your bust circumference). The sizes provided are for the finished garment. **SIZES** 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9, ) Finished bust circumference: 92 (96, 104, 112, 120)(124, 128, 148, 157) cm / 36.25 (37.75, 41, 44, 47.25)(48.75, 50.5, 58.25, 61.75)” *Please note: I wrote 2 additional sizes (bust circumference 167 and 177 cm).
