Popsicle Cardigan
€7.50
Oversized striped cardigan. There are 2 sizes that are separated by parenthesis, you can read them like size 1 (2). It can fit more sizes as it’s very oversized! The only differences are in the overall length of body and sleeves. Check the measurements section below.
The piece is constructed by knitting the back and front panels separately flat, and then once joined the sleeves are worked in the round.
Sizes Size 1 Size 2 | Length cm / inch 100 / 39.4 135 / 53 | Width cm / inch 80 / 31.5 80 / 31.5 | Sleeves cm / inch 30 / 11.8 45 / 17.7 |
