Petite Knit Eva Cardigan - Knitting Pattern / Kit
The Eva Cardigan is worked from the top down. First, the top part of the back yoke is worked back and forth with increases, then the shoulders are worked from stitches that are picked up and knitted along the top of the back yoke. Stitches are then picked up and knitted along the shoulders, and the rest of the yoke is joined on a circular needle and worked with increases for the V-neck. The rest of the body is worked back and forth on a circular needle, and the sleeves are worked in the round. At the end, stitches are picked up and knitted along the front edges and a wide front placket is worked in 2 x 2 rib.
Size guide
The Eva Cardigan is designed to have approx. 26 cm [10¼ inches] of positive ease in the smaller sizes and then gradually less positive ease in the larger sizes. The sizes XXS (XS) S (M) L (XL) 2XL (3XL) 4XL (5XL) are designed to fit a bust circumference of 75-80 (80-85) 85-90 (90-95) 95-100 (100-110) 110-120 (120-130) 130-140 (140-150) cm [29½-31½ (31½-33½) 33½-35½ (35½-37½) 37½-39½ (39½-43¼) 43¼-47¼ (47¼-51¼) 51¼-55 (55-59) inches].
The measurements for the finished cardigan are listed on the front page of the pattern. Please note that these measurements are only achieved if the correct gauge is maintained. Measure yourself before starting your project, 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 of your upper body) you should knit a size S. A size S cardigan has a bust circumference of 116 cm [45¾ inches] which in the given example would give you 26 cm [10¼ inches] of positive ease.

Petite Knit Eva Cardigan - Knitting Pattern / Kit

Published Thursday, 5 March 20265 out of 5This is a new yarn to me - it was the colour which originally drew me to it, and I was a bit skeptical as I like to use merino for garments. The yarn is surprisingly soft, with great construction which will ensure stitch and pattern definition. The colour is gorgeous, so I am really anticipating knitting with it and wearing the finished garment.

Published Thursday, 27 November 20255 out of 5This wool is enjoyable to knit and quality control is excellent - I haven't come across any flaws in the yarn. I have been surprised to find a separate piece of yarn inside several balls of between 75 and 100cm in length, so I am putting them aside for sewing the garment together when the knitting is finished. I would buy this brand of yarn again

Published Thursday, 27 November 20255 out of 5This pattern is my first time knitting from the top down and at the moment I have over 350 stitches on the needle. Instructions are clear, there are frequent stitch number checks given in the pattern and I am enjoying learning a new technique.
