The sleeves are worked in the round. At the end, plackets are worked along the front edges and along the neck. ***Size guide*** This cardigan is designed to have approx. 8 cm [3¼ in] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be, 8 cm [3¼ in] larger in circumference than your bust measurement.

A size S sweater has a chest circumference of 98 cm [38½ in] which in the given example will give you 8 cm [3¼ in] of positive ease. ***Finished measurements***: 93 (98; 103; 108) (118; 128; 138) cm [36½ (38½; 40½; 42½) (46½; 50½; 54¼) in] ***Gauge***: *I version*: 22 sts х 32 rows = 10 cm х 10 cm with 3,5 mm US4 needles. *II version*: 23,5 sts х 32 rows = 10 cm х 10 cm with 3,5 mm US4 needles.
