Pattern available in French and English. 

The Eva Cardigan is worked from the top down.
First, the top back yoke is worked back and forth with increases, then the shoulders are created by picking up stitches and knitting them along the top back yoke. Stitches are then picked up and knitted along the shoulders, and the rest of the yoke is joined on a circular needle and then worked with increases for the V-neck.
The rest of the body is worked back and forth on a circular needle, and the sleeves are worked in the round.
Finally, stitches are picked up along the fronts and a wide 2x2 rib button band is knitted.

Size Guide
The Eva Cardigan is designed with approximately 26 cm [10¼ inches] of positive ease for smaller sizes, and progressively less positive ease for larger sizes.
The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches].

The finished cardigan measurements are shown on the first page of the pattern. Note that these measurements are only achieved if the gauge is met. Measure yourself before starting to choose the size that fits you best.
For example, if your bust circumference is 90 cm [35½ inches], you should knit a size S. A size S cardigan has a finished bust circumference of 116 cm [45¾ inches], which in this example gives 26 cm [10¼ inches] of positive ease.
