The Manon Cardigan is worked in a moss stitch pattern back and forth from the top down. It starts with the back, simultaneously shaping the shoulder slopes with German Short Rows. After this, stitches are picked up to work the right and left fronts. Once all the parts are complete, stitches are picked up along the shoulder sections, and the knitting is joined to work down to the armholes, while also increasing stitches for the front sections, back, and sleeves. Next, the sleeve stitches are placed on hold, and the body is worked downwards. Following this, the edges are knitted in double knitting followed by a lace pattern for the neckline. Finally, stitches are picked up along the armholes to work the sleeves in the round.
The cardigan in the photo is knitted with Cosma [col. 00] by LAMANA. [SIZE-S]

The Manon Cardigan has a relaxed fit and is designed to have approx. 5-10 cm [2-4 in] of positive ease. This means the garment's measurements will be approx. 5-10 cm [2-4 in] larger than your actual bust circumference. 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 / 47¼-51 ¼ in].
Before you begin, measure yourself to determine the right size. For example, if your bust circumference is 92 cm [36½ in], you should knit a size M. If you are between sizes, choose the size based on how loose you prefer the cardigan to fit. Using the diagram with the finished garment measurements can be a helpful reference when deciding which size to select.
