I’m currently having trouble paying through Ravelry, my patterns can be purchased on Boosty (see the link in Source)On this site you pay for the post, it contains a PDF file with the English version of the pattern. I will also send you the pattern via Ravelry so that it will be saved in your library throughout the day. Sorry for the temporary convenience

‘Autumn Afternoon’ is a hip-length cardigan with
seamless construction and anatomic fit, incl.
• Raised back-neck;

You start with the circular yoke knit flat bottom up
in garter stitch (using short-rows) and in stockinette. Then you pick up yoke edge stitches, separate for the body & sleeves,
and knit them top-down in the round.
The hem and cuffs are worked in rib 11
You then pick up stitches along the front and work the ribbed button-bands.
