The Solene Cardigan is worked from the top down in stockinette stitch. It begins with the left and right back sections, which are worked separately. German short rows ensure a good fit for the shoulders. After casting on stitches for the neck, the pieces are joined to work the back as one piece. Next, stitches are picked up to work the left and right fronts separately with increases to form the V-neck. Once all parts are ready, stitches are picked up for the underarms, and the knitting is joined and worked straight back and forth. 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, the ties are worked in the i-cord technique and then sewn to the front edge.

Sizes:

XS / S / M / L / XL / 2XL / 3XL
The Solene Cardigan has a relaxed fit and is designed to have approx. 20 cm [8 in] of positive ease with slightly reduced ease in larger sizes, to ensure a more comfortable fit. This means the garment's measurements will be approx. 20 cm [8 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.
