The April Cardigan by PetiteKnit features a flattering V-neckline, ribbed button band and gently relaxed fit. Knitted from the top down with Sandnes Garn Sunday and Tynn Silk Mohair held together, it has a soft, lightly fluffy finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe April Cardigan has a V-neckline and is worked from the top down. The first part of the yoke is worked with shoulder increases on both RS and WS rows. The next part is worked with sleeve increases and the final part with classic raglan increases. At the same time, increases are worked along the front edges to shape the V-neckline. The sleeves are worked in the round on double-pointed needles or on a circular needle using the Magic Loop technique. At the end, stitches are picked up and knitted along the fronts, shoulders and back of neck, and a ribbed front edge with buttonholes is worked. Begin by working a swatch to determine which needle size you need to achieve the correct gauge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize guide\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe April Cardigan is designed to have approx. 6-8 cm [2¼-3¼ inches] of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 6-8 cm [2¼-3¼ inches] larger in circumference than your bust measurement. 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 inches]. The measurements for the finished garment are on the front page of the pattern (note that these measurements are only achieved if the design is knitted in the correct gauge). Before beginning your project, measure yourself with a measuring tape around your bust or your widest upper body part 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 on your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S sweater has a bust circumference of 97 cm [38¼ inches] which in the given example would give you 7 cm [2¾ inches] of positive ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSizes: \u003c\/b\u003eXS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL (4XL) 5XL\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBust circumference: \u003c\/strong\u003e91 (97) 101 (106) 118 (127) 137 (146) 158 cm [35¾ (38¼) 39¾ (41¾) 46½ (50) 54 (57½) 62¼ inches]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength: \u003c\/strong\u003e53 (54) 55 (57) 59 (60) 61 (62) 63 cm [20¾ (21¼) 21¾ (22½) 23¼ (23½) 24 (24½) 24¾ inches] (measured mid back incl. neck edge)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGauge: \u003c\/strong\u003e21 sts x 28 rows = 10 x 10 cm [4 x 4 inches] in stockinette stitch on 4 mm [US6] needles after wash and blocking\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeedles: \u003c\/strong\u003eCircular needles: 4 mm [US6] \/ 60 and 80 and\/or 100 cm [\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/24in-60cm-fixed-circulars\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"24in (60cm) circular knitting needles\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e24\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/32in-80cm-fixed-circulars\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"32in (80cm) circular knitting needles\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e32\u003c\/a\u003e and\/or \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/40in-100cm-fixed-circulars\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"40in (100cm) circular knitting needles\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e40\u003c\/a\u003e inches], 3 mm [US2½] \/ 80 or 100 cm [32 or 40 inches], and 3.5 mm [US4] 80 or 100 cm [32 or 40 inches]; \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/dpns-6in-and-8in\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Double pointed needles (DPNs)\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eDouble-pointed needles\u003c\/a\u003e: 3.5 mm [US4] and 4 mm [US6] \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials: \u003c\/strong\u003e200 (200) 250 (250) 250-300 (300) 300 (350) 350 g \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thelittleknittingcompany.co.uk\/products\/sandnes-garn-sunday-4ply-yarn\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sandnes Garn Sunday\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eSunday\u003c\/a\u003e by Sandnes Garn (50 g = 235 m [257 yds]) \u003cstrong\u003eheld together with \u003c\/strong\u003e100 (100-125) 125 (125) 125-150 (150) 150 (175) 175 g \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thelittleknittingcompany.co.uk\/products\/sandnes-garn-tynn-silk-mohair\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Sandnes Garn Tynn Silk Mohair\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eTynn Silk Mohair\u003c\/a\u003e by Sandnes Garn (25 g = 212 m [232 yds]) \u003cstrong\u003eor\u003c\/strong\u003e Brushed Lace by Mohair By Canard (25 g = 210 m [230 yds]) \u003cstrong\u003eor\u003c\/strong\u003e Silk Mohair by Isager Yarn (25 g = 212 m [232 yds])\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4 buttons (ø = 21-23 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 \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.thelittleknittingcompany.co.uk\/pages\/petiteknit-level-of-difficulty-for-patterns\" title=\"PetiteKnit - level of difficulty for knitting patterns\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blue April Cardigan is knitted in Sunday by Sandnes Garn in the color Baby blue eyes [6043] held together with Tynn Silk Mohair by Sandnes Garn in color Himmelblå [6042] in size XS.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHIS IS A PRINTED PATTERN THAT WILL BE POSTED TO YOU\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PetiteKnit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56463736930646,"sku":"PK-PAT-APCA","price":7.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0929\/9479\/7910\/files\/petiteknit_april_cardigan.jpg?v=1793732969","url":"https:\/\/www.thelittleknittingcompany.co.uk\/products\/april-cardigan-petiteknit-printed-knitting-pattern","provider":"The Little Knitting Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
