The Chantal Collar Cardigan is worked top-down in a slip stitch pattern. First, the collar band is worked in the round in stockinette stitch, then stitches are picked up along the folded edge, and the collar is worked back and forth in double knitting with short rows and increases for shaping. The collar band is then joined, and stitches are divided into sections for the shoulders, fronts, and back, which are worked separately back and forth, each shaped with short rows. Once complete, the fronts and back are joined into one piece with cast-on stitches for the underarms, and the body is worked straight. Stitches are picked up for the button bands, worked separately in double knitting, with buttonholes placed in paired sets. Finally, stitches are picked up for the sleeves, which are worked in the round, shaped with short rows for the cap, and tapered towards the cuffs.

Sizes:

XS / S / M / L / XL / 2XL / 3XL
The Chantal Collar Cardigan has a relaxed fit and is designed to have approx. 15 cm [6 in] of positive ease which is reduced in larger sizes, to ensure a more comfortable fit. This means the garment's measurements will be approx. 15 cm [6 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 / 47¼-51¼ in].

Before you begin, measure yourself to determine the right size. For example, if your bust circumference is 90 cm [35 in], you should knit a size M. If you are between sizes, choose the size based on how loose you prefer the sweater to fit. Using the diagram with the finished garment measurements can be a helpful reference when deciding which size to select.
