Knitting Kit - Scarlet Cardigan by PetiteKnit

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

Pattern available in French and English. 

The Scarlet Cardigan is worked top-down, with a raised garter stitch line in the center back, on each side of the body and under each sleeve. The first part of the back yoke is worked flat, back and forth, with the shoulder slope shaped using short rows. Then, an i-cord edge is knitted along the cast-on edge of the back yoke. Stitches from each shoulder are picked up along this i-cord, then the shoulders are worked separately flat, back and forth. The shoulders include increases to shape the V-neck. The front and back are then joined to form the body, which is worked flat on circular needles. The sleeves are worked from stitches picked up along the armholes. Finally, stitches are picked up along the fronts to knit a double button band.

Size guide
The Scarlet Cardigan is designed to have approximately 25 cm of positive ease for smaller sizes, then gradually less for larger sizes.

The measurements of the finished cardigan can be found on the first page of the pattern. Please note: these measurements are only valid if the gauge is adhered to.
