Sizing & Fit Guide
The Sunday Cardigan – Mohair Edition is designed with approximately 15–20 cm of positive ease, meaning the finished garment is intended to be 15–20 cm larger in circumference than your actual bust measurement.
To choose your size, measure yourself around your bust (or the widest part of your upper body) before starting. For example, if you measure 93 cm around your bust, you should knit a size M. A size M cardigan has a finished bust circumference of 111 cm, giving you 18 cm of positive ease.

Before You Cast On
We highly recommend knitting a gauge swatch with three strands held together, then washing and blocking it before taking your measurements. This lets you verify both your stitch count and the airy drape of the fabric. Always purchase complete yarn balls and consider picking up an extra ball to account for swatching or any adjustments you make to the body and sleeve lengths.

How many strands of yarn are used in this pattern?

Why is my gauge swatch so important for this cardigan?
Because you are knitting with three strands held together on larger 7 mm needles, small variations in tension can quickly change the finished circumference and drape. Always wash and block your swatch before measuring to ensure your cardigan matches the size guide.
