Bergljot cardigan - english

Bergljot Cardigan is a simple and classic cardigan that can be used for most occasions. As it is knitted with double thread, it gives room to experiment with colors, here it is taste and pleasure that decides; knit it plain for a basic cardigan or two-tone for a cool statement garment in the wardrobe.

Bergljot Cardigan is knitted from top and down, with raglan increases and increases towards neck to shape the neckline. When the raglan increases are finished, divide into body so that the sleeve stitches are placed to rest on a needle / thread. The cardigan is framed with a ribbed front edge and finished with turbular bind off. If you wish, you can make buttonholes even if the pattern does not give a drescription of it. Bergljot Cardigan should have a positive ease for +4 - +15 cm (+1,57 - +5,91 inches) larger in circumference than your bust measurement.
