CARDIGAN "SHALOM"

The cardigan "Shalom" is knitted in the round without side seams from top to bottom and fastens with one button.

Note:

The cardigan is also suitable for size M (bust circumference 34–35 inches = 86–89 cm). For a larger size, you can:

• Add stitches to the placket (knitted in garter stitch)

• Use thicker needles

• Simply add a few stitches to the main fabric

Also, keep in mind that the cardigan is designed for tall women. If your height is less than 180 cm, knit a few rows less.
