I love the idea of 2 generations wearing the same design! Having finished “Guernsey Girl for children” I had a strong feeling that this design would go very well for adults too:) I changed some elements of the design to be more suited for a grown-up, but the overall impression is the same.

This pattern has been tested (and proof-read) by a group of talented and skilfull knitters. A huge thank you to: Lea78 / lhensley / naminoki / Ozifarmer / Themeis and Sue-Cat.

Design Guernsey Girl for ladies has a timeless, flattering, wearable design. Depending on the yarn and your mood it could be worn with jeans as well as over a pencil-skirt. The look melts in with so many outfits, from casual to office. The collars and cuffs are worked double (folded over), which gives a neat look.

Seamless construction The body of the cardigan is worked bottom up from cast-on to underarms. Work is divided and fronts and back are worked in separate parts to the shoulders. There are short-row shaping of the shoulders to give a neat fit. Sts are picked up around armholes, and sleeves are worked top-down and in the round, starting from a short sleeve-cap shaped by short-rows.
The collar and button bands are worked last, from spared and picked-up sts. If you make doubled cuffs and collar these are sewed to the back when folded.

Sizes There are 10 sizes to choose from: 77/81.5/86/91/95.5/100/105/109/114/118.5 = 30/32/34/36/37.5/39/41/43/45/46.5”. Sample is made in size 32”, with no ease.

Materials

You will need approximately 7/8/8/8/9/9/9/10/10/11 balls of above yarn. Needles: 2.5mm/US1.5, 80cm/32” circular needle for the ribbing of the body, the collar, the buttonbands. 3mm/US2.5, 90cm/32” circular needle for the body. 3mm/US2.5 DPNs (or longer circular neede for magic loop) for the sleeves. 2.5mm/US1.5 DPNs (or longer cicurlar needle for magic loop) for the ribbing of the sleeves.
