Specification
Anker’s Cardigan – My Size has a circular yoke worked in sections of rib with increases followed by classic raglan increases. The cardigan is worked from the top down and back and forth on a long circular needle. The sleeves are worked in double-pointed needles or on a circular needle using the Magic Loop technique. The first and last 7 sts on yoke and body are worked in rib for the front edges.
Size guide: Anker’s Cardigan – My Size is designed to have approx. 3-6 cm {1¼-2¼ inches} of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 3-6 cm {1¼-2¼ inches} larger in circumference than your widest upper body part measurement. The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm {31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ inches}. Before beginning your project, measure yourself with a measuring tape around your bust (or widest upper body part) to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 94 cm {37 inches} around your bust (or around your belly if this is the widest place on your body), you should knit a size M.
