Construction

Knitted top-down. Begin with the upper back, then knit the upper front pieces from the sloped shoulders. Sleeve stitches are then picked up along the top of the armholes. From there, the sleeves, front, and back are knitted together until the end of the armhole opening. The back, front, and sleeves are then knitted separately. The ribbed trim is knitted along the front edges and V-neck. It is worked back and forth and knitted at the same time as the front edge. Finally, the sleeves are knitted in the round.

Sizing Guide

The Caia Cardigan is designed with approximately 15 to 20 cm (6 to 7.75”) of positive ease.
The cardigan shown in the photos has approximately 22 cm (8.75”) of positive ease.

Measure your bust circumference by placing the tape measure around your chest (or the widest part of your upper body), then compare this measurement to the finished garment dimensions provided at the beginning of the pattern.
Positive ease is the difference between your body measurement and the cardigan measurement.

Example:
If your bust circumference is 94 cm (37”), size M will give you 18 cm (7”) of positive ease:
112 cm – 94 cm = 18 cm
44” – 37” = 7”

Length is measured at the center back, excluding the neckline.
