FLOWER SYMPHONY Cardigan

The cardigan is worked in the round from the center back. First, we work the jacquard pattern and increase stitches in four places to create a square-shaped knit. Next, we work the rib, which will serve as the finishing touch at the neckline and hem. The sleeves are worked in rows and sewn together. Finally, we use a crochet hook to reinforce the rib at the top of the cardigan to shape it at the nape of the neck.

WHICH SIZE TO CHOOSE?
The cardigan is open (no fastening) and designed as an "oversize" piece, meaning it has a relaxed fit. Choose a size where the total width of the sweater is approximately 15-25 cm larger than your bust measurement. The sweater in the photos was made in size 2, and its total width is approximately 21 cm larger than the model's bust measurement.
