PATTERN | ELLNA CARDIGAN

The delicate but casual ELLNA cardigan is knitted seamlessly top down. A fan-shaped lace pattern covers the yoke and is slowly fading out down the sleeves and the body. Eyelet strips run down to the ribbed hemline and cuffs. Once the yoke is completed, the stitches for the bracelet sleeves are put on hold and the body is finished separately. The sleeves are then worked in rounds. ELLNA was designed to be knitted with Pascuali Forest and Manada held together.

The sizes correspond to the bust circumference as follows:
XS/S (M/L; XL/XXL) = 29 (32; 35; 39; 42; 47)” / 74 – 82 (90 – 98; 107 – 119) cm bust circumference (measured at the body). The cardigan has a relaxed fit and bracelet sleeves. Example: If you have a bust measurement of 35” (90 cm), then knit the cardigan in size M/L for a positive ease of 7” (18 cm).
