Approximate amount of yarn necessary:
(p.s. If the cardigan is planned to be longer as shown in the table below, then an additional ball of yarn should be taken.)
NEEDLES: Circular needles Nr. 5 (for cardigan) and Nr. 4 (for rib pattern). I recommend using cord lengths of 40, 80 and 100 cm

KNITTING TENSION:
Required gauge : 16 stitches x 26 rows (10x10 cm) - after wet blocking (washing, drying on flat surface, shaping)

The sample is knitted in stockinette stitch (1 knit row, 1 purl row)
The cardigan is knitted in circular yoke top down. When this technique is being made, additional rows are knitted in the back part, creating a deepening for the back. After that, the body is being separated from the sleeves. Positive ease of the cardigan is ~10 cm.
