Spring is in the air, on the ground and in my mind. Vaixell is a warming but thin cardigan with another fantastic motif from the rock carvings of the swedish bronze age.

Vaixell is worked from the bottom up in three pieces, 2 sleeves and the body. All pieces are then put together for the yoke. For the edges of the sleeves and body I use a technique for which I have made a tutorial you can watch here:

Sizes
Finished measurements of the cardigan:
Bust: 76 (86 - 96 - 106 - 116 - 127) cm/30 (34 - 38 - 42 - 46 - 50)”
Length: 56 (57 - 58 - 60 - 62 - 65) cm/22 (22.5 - 22.75 - 23.5 - 24.5 - 25.5)”
Model is wearing a size S with the intended ease of 5 cm/2”. Since it closes with clasps I recommend to rather go up a size than down if you are in between sizes and the ease would become less than 5 cm/2”.
