PATTERN | LIGHT DRIFT CARDIGAN

The airy LIGHT DRIFT CARDIGAN with three-quarter length sleeves is worked seamlessly from the top down. The stitches are divided immediately after casting on so that the patterned stripes meet symmetrically at the side lines and the center back. At the same time, you work increases for the shoulders along the narrow raglan lines and shape the neckline using short rows. The playfully decorative button and buttonhole bands are crocheted on at the end, with the scallops doubling as buttonholes. The natural cotton and linen yarn further emphasizes the cardigan’s light, summery style. 

The sizes correspond to the bust circumference as follows:
XS ( S/M; L/XL; XXL/3XL; 4XL/5XL ) =  30 ( 32–35; 38–42; 46–50; 54–58 )″ (= 76 ( 82–90; 98–107; 117–127; 137–147 ) cm) bust circumference (measured on the body).

Depending on your bust measurement, the cardigan has a positive ease of 1.2 to 6.2″ (= 3 to 16 cm); depending on size, the fit can range from slim and figure-hugging to loose and comfortable.

 Example: If your bust measurement is 35″ (= 90 cm), make the cardigan in size S/M and it will have a comfortably slim fit with a positive ease of 1.6″ (= 4 cm).
