Yarn kit for the Key Cardigan by PetiteKnit.

The Key Cardigan is nicely warm and features an interesting stripe pattern. The stripes have a Scandinavian look and are interlocked. This pattern is not too difficult to knit and looks great.

Casual and suitable for everyday wear, this beautiful jacket will accompany you every day. You will use it on beach walks or city strolls and feel completely comfortable.

You knit your Key Cardigan seamlessly from top to bottom in rounds with raglan increases using Peer Gynt and Alpakka Folgetrad from Sandnes Garn. The soft and warm Peer Gynt is made from pure Norwegian wool and gains a pleasant softness and nice drape from the fine Alpakka thread.

Size Guide

The Key Cardigan should have a positive ease of about 24 cm for the smaller sizes and a gradually smaller ease for the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) correspond to a body chest circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm. The finished garment measurements can be found on the title page. Measure yourself before you start knitting to determine the size that fits you best. If your chest circumference (or the widest part of your body) measures 95 cm, you should choose size M. A cardigan in size M has a chest circumference of 119 cm and in this example would have a positive ease of 24 cm.
