Serene Cardigan

Sizes: XS (S) M/L (XL/2XL) 3XL ● Level: 4 of 5 ● A stunning classic cardigan with a texture that soothes like a mantra - The Serere cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down. First, cast on stitches for the back neck and work them flat to the underarm. Then, pick up the stitches for both fronts, join them for the back and work to hem. Next, work the sleeves. Finally, work the button band in double-knitting. The cardigan has an European structure that means the shoulders are sloping backwards. * FINISHED MEASUREMENTS Bust circumference: 90 (105) 120 (135) 150 cm / 36 (42) 48 (54) 60” Length from back neckline to hem: 63 (63) 63 (66) 66 cm / 25.25 (25.25) 25.25 (26.5) 26.5” Upper arm circumference: 37.5 (41.5) 45 (45) 49 cm / 15 (16.5) 18 (18) 19.5” Sleeve length from underarm: Approx. 54 cm / 21.5” in all sizes SIZE GUIDE The cardigan is designed to be worn with approx. 0-15 cm / 0-6” of positive ease at bust.
