Size Guide:
Choosing a size depends on the fit you want for your cardigan. Measure yourself around your chest or at the widest point of your torso, and add the desired positive ease to determine which size to knit.
For a tight fit, the recommended positive ease is 5-10 cm [2-3 ⅞ inches] larger than your chest measurement.
For a relaxed fit, the recommended positive ease is 20-30 cm [7 ⅞-11 ¾ inches] larger than your chest measurement.
The cardigan shown in the photos is knitted in Merino (Color: Ballerina) and Soft Silk Mohair (Color: Cherry Blossom) from Knitting for Olive.
