The Janette Cardigan is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch. It begins with the back, which is worked flat with German short rows to shape the neckline and shoulder slopes, followed by decreases and increases for the armhole shaping. Next, stitches are picked up to work the left and right fronts separately, with increases to shape the crew neck. Once all parts are complete, stitches are cast on for the underarms, and the knitting is joined and worked straight back and forth, ending with a ribbed hem. Stitches are then picked up along the armholes to work the sleeves in the round. After this, stitches are picked up to knit the front edge in double knitting. Finally, stitches are picked up to work the neckline in 1x1 rib, which is then folded and attached.

Sizes:

XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL
The Janette Cardigan has an oversized fit and is designed to have approx. 13–20 cm [5–8 in] of positive ease, with the larger sizes featuring slightly less ease to ensure a more balanced and comfortable fit. This means the garment’s measurements will be between 13–20 cm [5–8 in] larger than your actual bust circumference, depending on the size.

The sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL are designed to fit a bust circumference of 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 (130-140) 140-150 cm [31½-33½ (33½-35½) 35½-37½ (37½-39½) 39½-43¼ (43¼-47¼) 47¼-51¼ (51¼-55) 55-59 in].

Before you begin, measure yourself to determine the right size. For example, if your bust circumference is 92 cm [36¼ in], you should knit a size M. If you are between sizes, choose the size based on how loose you prefer the garment to fit. Using the diagram with the finished garment measurements can be a helpful reference when deciding which size to select.

Gepard Garn (worked with two strands throughout the process):
500 (500) 550 (600) 650 (700) 750 (800) 850 g Pura Lana by Gepard Garn 50 g = 115 m [126 yds] & 125 (125) 150 (175) 200 (200) 225 (250) 250 g Kid Seta by Gepard Garn 25 g = 210 m [230 yds].

Yarn alternatives:

This design is worked holding wool together with silk mohair.

When choosing an alternative, look for 100% wool or wool blend yarns that keep their shape well — ideally a 6-ply worsted weight with approx. 120–130 m [131–142 yds] per 50 g, combined with one strand of silk mohair (approx. 210–250 m [230–273 yds] per 25 g).

Suggested needles:

Circular needles:
4.5 mm [US 7] 40, and 80 or 100 cm [16, and 32 or 40 in].
4 mm [US 6] 80 or 100 cm [32 or 40 in].
3.5 mm [US 4] 80 (optional) and 100 cm [32 or 40 in].
Double-pointed needles:
4 mm [US 6] or long circular needles for the magic loop technique.

Gauge:

After washing and blocking:
19 sts x 28 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 in] in stockinette stitch on 4.5 mm [US 7] needles.
44 sts x 56 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 in] in double knitting on 3.5 mm [US 4] needles. The stated gauge accounts for both layers of double knitting. The visible stitch and row count for each layer is half of the stated amount = 22 sts x 28 rows.

Please make sure to knit a swatch. Ensure that your swatch gauge matches the given one. If you cannot achieve the required gauge using the suggested needles, adjust your needle size to reach the correct gauge.
