First, the back yoke is worked flat, back and forth, shaped with increases. Then each shoulder is worked separately, from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the top of the back yoke. Stitches are then picked up and knitted along the shoulders, and the rest of the yoke and the body is worked back and forth on the circular needle. The sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on a long circular needle using the Magic Loop technique. At the end, plackets are worked along the front edges and along the neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBegin by working a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge. Wash and block the swatch before taking any measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Maggie Cardigan is designed to have approx. 5 cm [2 inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be approx. 5 cm [2 inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches].\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe measurements for the finished sweater can be found on the front page of the pattern. Please note that these measurements can only be achieved if the correct gauge is maintained throughout. Measure yourself before beginning your project, to determine which size will fit you the best. For example, if you measure 90 cm [35½ inches] around your bust (or around the widest part of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S sweater has a bust circumference of 96 cm [37¾ inches] which in the given example would give you 6 cm [2¼ inches] of positive ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSizes:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eXXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBust circumference:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e89 (91) 96 (101) 106 (115) 125 (136) 143 (153) cm [35 (35¾) 37¾ (39¾) 41¾ (45¼) 49¼ (53½) 56¼ (60¼) inches]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e48 (52) 54 (56) 58 (59) 60 (63) 66 (70) cm [19 (20½) 21¼ (22) 22¾ (23¼) 23½ (24¾) 26 (27½) inches] (measured mid back excl. neck edge)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e23 sts x 32 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in stockinette stitch on 3.5 mm [US4] needles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCircular needles: 3.5 mm [US4] \/ 60, 80 and\/or 100 cm [24, 32 and\/or 40 inches] and 3 mm [US2½] \/ 60, 80 and\/or 100 cm [24, 32 and\/or 40 inches]; Double-pointed needles: 3.5 mm [US4] and 3 mm [US2½] (unless the Magic Loop technique is used)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggestion 1:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e175 (200) 200 (225) 250 (250) 275 (275) 300 (325) g Cashmere Classic by Cardiff Cashmere (25 g = 112 m [120 yds])\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCashmere Premium by Lang Yarns (25 g = 115 m [126 yds])\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eCashmere 6\/28 by Pascuali (25 g = 112 m [120 yds])\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuggestion 2:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e200 (200) 200 (250) 250 (250) 250 (300) 300 (300) g Sunday by Sandnes Garn (50 g = 235 m [257 yds])\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMerino by Knitting for Olive (50 g = 250 m [273 yds])\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eheld together with\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e100 (100) 125 (125) 125 (150) 150 (150) 175 (175) g Tynn Silk Mohair by Sandnes Garn (25 g = 212 m [232])\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eSoft Silk Mohair by Knitting for Olive (25 g = 225 m [246 yds])\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e125 (150) 150 (175) 175 (200) 200 (225) 225 (250) g Compatible Cashmere by Knitting for Olive (25 g = 150 m [164 yds])\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want long sleeves, add approx. 50 g of yarn for each size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e6 buttons (ø 18 mm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/strong\u003e: ★ ★ ★ ★ (4 out of 5)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the classification of difficulty\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/wholesale.petiteknit.com\/en\/pages\/opskrifternes-svaerhedsgard\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"PetiteKnit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53068603556183,"sku":null,"price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0782\/4926\/3447\/files\/maggiestreetcoffee15_32dbfdf0-e6ef-45e5-8222-980d6c50112b.jpg?v=1774103410","url":"https:\/\/plushsociety.co.uk\/products\/maggie-cardigan-pattern-petiteknit","provider":"Plush Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
