My Wave Cardigan

The My Wave Cardigan is a tribute to femininity and attention to detail. The signature fluffy ruffle at the cuff is the heart of this design, giving it a unique, romantic character. The sleeves, as well as the rest of the cardigan, are quite oversized, making it perfectly cozy for chillier days. The cardigan is worked bottom-up. The body (back and fronts) is knitted in one piece, which eliminates side seams and ensures a flawless structure. Once the desired height is reached, the work is divided into fronts and back, which are then finished separately to create the armholes. The only seams in this project are at the shoulders. The sleeves are worked by picking up stitches directly from the armhole edges, allowing you to easily adjust their length to your personal preference. The entire look is beautifully finished with an eye-catching, fluffy ruffle that gives the design its unique, wavy essence. The photos in the pattern show a size M cardigan on a 175 cm [5’9”] tall model. It is recommended to adjust the length of the cardigan as you knit, keeping in mind that the sleeves are wide and feature a dropped shoulder. **Sizes** XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) To fit chest circumference: 71–76 (81–86) 91–96 (101–106) 111–117 (122–127) cm / 28-30 (32-34) 36-38 (40-42) 44-46 (48-50)” **Chest circumference:** 104 (112) 118 (128) 138 (148) cm / 41 (44) 46½ (50½) 54¼ (58¼)” Total length: 64 (66) 68 (70) 72 (74) cm / 25¼ (26) 26¾ (27½) 28¼ (29¼)” The My Wave Cardigan is designed with a relaxed fit, featuring approximately 20-28 cm / 8-11" of positive ease.
