Knitting Pattern in English for a slightly oversized cardigan with a cropped length and a decorative ribbed pattern over body and sleeves in sizes XS | S | M (L | XL | 2XL) 3XL.
Structure:
The cardigan is knitted top down with raglan increases. To shape the neck, you are going to knit for several centimeters the button band. Then, you pick up sts along on side of the button band for the back part, the sleeves and the front parts. Afterwards, the cardigan is worked back and forth in rows with raglan increases before and after the 5 central raglan stitches in twisted ribbing. As soon as you have reached the desired number of sts, you separate the sleeves from the body and are going to finish the body and the sleeves separately. The decorative rib pattern is growing under the armpits on body and sleeves. Body and sleeves are finished in twisted ribbing with a smaller needle size.
The fit of the cardigan is loose and oversized, the sleeves are long and reach until the middle of your hands. The length is cropped, but can be easily adapted to your individual preferences and body measurements.
