The cardigan is designed to provide a small amount of positive ease around the bust, ensuring a comfortable yet stylish fit. The finished bust measurements approximate 31.5(35.5, 39.5, 43.5, 47.25, 51.2)“/80(90, 100, 110, 120, 130) cm, making it ideal for those with bust sizes of 30(34, 38, 42, 46, 50)”/75 (85, 95, 105, 115, 125) cm. The sample showcased in the photos is a size S, worn on a model with a bust measurement of around 34”/85 cm, featuring approximately 5 cm of positive ease for maximum comfort.

To achieve the perfect fit, pay close attention to the **gauge:** you'll need 17 stitches and 24 rows to equal 4” (10 cm) in Stockinette stitch when using larger US 8 (5 mm) needles. Additionally, for the intricate cable pattern, gauge will also be 24 stitches and 24 rows per 4” (10 cm) using the same needle size. We recommend utilizing the back cable pattern for swatching—there's no need to test the entire width of the back panel; simply use a swatch that is at least 30 stitches wide to accurately determine your gauge.
