A Rococo inspired Cardigan with a slightly high-waisted tie-belt, a peplum, a soft shawl collar and ellbow-long pufffed sleeves that gives you all you want: an hourglass figure and a romantic feel with a tailored look.

Update:

I have found some nice ladies willing to test knit and helping me out with writing the pattern for different sizes. Although I am able to do the required maths for this and there is knitting software around I found that especially bigger sizes don’t change completely: shoulders, back length and also arm width don’t need much alteration. Thanks to those who are going to help me .

Finally! I completely lost my mojo for the last six months and even when I wanted to knit, I couldn’t for my fingers were hurting so much. And I couldn’t think about finishing the pattern for this when I couldn’t think about knitting.

Now I am knitting again, my head spins around imagining all my future knits and so I was able to finish the written part of it, too.

Although the pattern is for a 34” bust I also added notes on how to make this one in bigger sizes, too - rather like a recipe. For smaller sizes, just use a thinner yarn/thinner needles and use the recipe.
I’ll be here to help everybody who want to knit this very feminine cardigan. Contact me whenever you get stucked!

Thanks to everybody who gave this little cardi a heart! And a big, big sorry to my testknitters who were willing to help until I just went under - so sorry!!!
