PATTERN | TAMARA CARDIGAN

TAMARA is a casual cropped cardigan with a loose, light all-over eyelet pattern and deep V-neck. It is worked seamlessly from the bottom up with an easy eyelet pattern. First, work the back along with the front parts in one piece up to the armpits. Next work the sleeves, bottom up in rounds. After joining body and sleeves, all is worked in one piece up to the neckline. Decreases for the shoulders are made along four accentuated raglan lines. At the same time, the deep v-neckline is created with decreases at the front edges. To finish, stitches for the button band and neckline finishing are picked up and are worked in seed stitch pattern.

The sizes correspond to 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 is cut short and straight with slightly shorter sleeves. Example: If you have a bust measurement of 35” (90 cm), then knit the cardigan in size M and it will fit loosely with a positive ease of 3.1” (8 cm).
