The April Cardigan is a top-down knit with a flattering V-neckline and a structured yoke. It begins with shoulder increases worked on both right and wrong sides, followed by a section of sleeve increases and then classic raglan shaping. Increases are also worked along the front edges to shape the neckline. The body is worked flat, while the sleeves are knit in the round using either double-pointed needles or the Magic Loop technique. Stitches are then picked up along the front edges, shoulders, and back neck to form a ribbed button band with integrated buttonholes. Be sure to knit a swatch first to check your gauge for the best fit.
Size guide
The 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.
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.
