How to work the knitwear: The Disco Ball cardigan is intentionally oversized. It features trendy dropped shoulders and long sleeves, making it perfect to wrap yourself in—whether you're heading out to a party or relaxing on the couch.
The cardigan features beautiful shoulder seams formed by frequent increases while knitting the neck piece. The finishing touch - wow buttons - make the cardigan sparkle!
The cardigan is worked from top down. First, the back neck piece is worked, then divided into front and back sections. These are worked separately down to the underarms, after which the cardigan is joined into one piece. The sleeve stitches are picked up from the armholes and knitted in the round down to the cuffs. Finally, the button band is worked in double-knitting.

Size guide
The cardigan is designed to be worn with approx. 15-30 cm / 6-12” of positive ease at bust - so the size doesn’t have to be too precise. First, measure your own bust (or your widest upper body part). Then, add 15-30 cm / 6-12” to your bust circumference. You can also measure your favourite cardigan - the size depends on whether you prefer an oversized or a more fitted style. Compare that number to the finished measurements (below) and choose the closest size.
