Knitting Kit - Copenhagen Cardigan by Petiteknit

Pattern not included - you must purchase the pattern on Ravelry here. 

Pattern available in French and English. 

The Copenhagen Cardigan is worked flat, back and forth, from the top down, with raglan increases on circular needles.
The neck is shaped using short rows. The cardigan is knitted in stockinette stitch, while the ribbed button bands are knitted simultaneously along the fronts. The pockets, added later, are created from stitches picked up along the fronts of the cardigan. The sleeves are worked in the round in stockinette stitch, either on double-pointed needles or on a long circular needle using the Magic Loop technique.

The finished cardigan measurements are given on the first page of the pattern.
Measure yourself before you begin your project to determine the best size.
For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body), you should knit a size S.
A size S cardigan has a finished bust circumference of 95 cm [37½ inches], which in this example gives 5 cm [2 inches] of positive ease.
