Eva Cardig Junior

Eva Cardigan Junior is a classic cardigan, it is knitted from the top down. First, the upper part of the back is knitted with increases. The shoulders are then knitted from the collected stitches at the top of the back piece. Stitches are picked up along the shoulders, and the rest of the yoke is knitted together on the circular needle, while at the front, openings are knitted for a V-cut. The body is knitted back and forth on circular needle, and the sleeves are knitted in the round. Finally, sts are picked up along the front edges and a wide button post is worked in double rib.

Size guide

Eva Cardigan Junior should have room to move ( positive ease) of approx. 18-24 cm in relation to the chest measurement. Sizes 1-2 (2-3) 3-4 (4-5) 5-6 (6-7) 7-8 (8-9) 9-10 (10-11) 11-12 (12-13) 13 -14 years corresponds to a chest measurement of approximately 53 (54) 56 (57) 59 (62) 64 (68) 72 (75) 78 (80) 82 cm. The measurements of the finished cardigan are given on the front of the pattern (note that these measurements only apply if the knitting tension is observed). If you/the recipient, for example, measure 57 cm around the chest, you should knit a size 4-5 years. A cardigan in size 4-5 years has an excess width of 79 cm and in the mentioned example will provide a room for movement ( positive ease ) of 22 cm. If the measured chest measurement differs from the age guide, you should be aware of adapting the lengths to the person you are knitting for. The same applies if the child is shorter/taller than average.
