Celtic Cardigan

### Celtic Cardigan Knitting Pattern: A Beautiful Top-Down Design The **Celtic Cardigan** offers a stunning knitting experience as it is crafted top-down in one seamless piece. Begin your journey with a delicate **Celtic border** at the neck, utilizing a provisional cast-on method for an elegantly finished garment. After establishing the neckline, you will seamlessly pick up stitches along one edge to create the body of the cardigan. This versatile pattern allows for two variations: you can knit it without any shaping, similar to the sample shown, or with hip shaping for a more tailored fit. The sample displayed is in Size S, designed to fit a bust measurement of 84 cm (approximately 33 inches). #### Size Guide: Choose your size based on the following measurements: - **Sizes Available:** S (M, L, XL) - **1 - Full Length:** 63 (64, 65, 66) cm | 24.5 (25, 25.5, 26) inches - **2 - Body Circumference:** - Without Hip Shaping: 80 (85, 90, 96) cm | 31.5 (33.5, 35.5, 38) inches - With Hip Shaping: 89 (94, 99, 105) cm | 35 (37, 39, 41.5) inches - **3 - Length from Underarm:** 39 cm for all sizes | 15.5 inches - **4 - Length of Raglan:** 22 (23, 24, 25) cm | 8.5 (9, 9.5, 10) inches - **5 - Upper Arm Circumference:** 28 (30, 35, 40) cm | 11 (12, 14, 16) inches - **6 - Cuff Circumference:** 20 (22, 25, 30) cm | 8 (8.5, 10, 12) inches Keep in mind that you will wear the **Celtic Cardigan** open in the front, so it’s crucial to select your size based on the **upper arm circumference** rather than your bust size.
