Classic cardigan with effortless stitch pattern
Level ●●●○○ (3 of 5)
How to work the knitwear: The stitch pattern is delightfully easy to knit and resembles a bubbly rosé drink. The stitch pattern also guarantees great results — possibly even better than plain stockinette: no striping effect from knit and purl rows.
The Rosé cardigan is worked seamlessly flat from the top down. First, cast on stitches for the neckline and work the raglan yoke, separate sleeve stitches from the body and work the body. Then, work the sleeves.
Finally, pick up stitches from the front and neck and work the button band. Buttons will finish off the look.

Size guide
The cardigan is designed to be worn with approx. 0-10 cm / 0-4” of positive ease at bust - so the cardigan has a rather snug fit. First, measure your own bust (or your widest upper body part). Then, add 0-10 cm / 0-4” to your bust circumference. Compare that number to the finished measurements (below) and choose the closest size. You can also measure your favourite cardigan.
