Cardigan is worked from the top down. The construction starts at the shoulders, with some short rows. The back and the fronts are worked separately up to the armholes, and then everything is joined to complete the body in one piece. The sleeves are picked up around the armholes and also worked in the round.

Cardigan is designed to have approx. 18 - 20 cm 7 - 7.8 inches of positive ease, meaning it is designed to be 18 - 20 cm 7 - 7.8 inches larger in circumference than your bust measurement. For example, if you measure 90 cm 35,5 in around your bust, you should knit a size M. A size M cardigan has a chest circumference of 110 cm 43.8 inches which in the given example will give you 18,5 cm 7.3 inches of positive ease.
