Notes

Perfect little everyday cardigan! Easy to knit and a joy to wear.

I have a large bust, so here are the mods ( help from a dear friend ) i had to do to fit my boobies in! grin

Bust measurement 109cm ( 43po“ )
Gauge 22 st = 10 cm

Need extra with 18 cm = 40 st.

Increases rows like this:

Row 1 inc 22 st

Row 9 inc 33 st

Row 17 inc 33 st

Row 25 inc 33 st

Row 33 inc 32 st

Row 41 inc 29 st

Row 49 inc 28 st

This gives one extra row of increases and the extra st i need. This after all increases Gave me 342 st (the 302 st from original pattern + extra 40 st)

Otherwise followed the pattern, but had to be aware that the number of st have changed.

This means when separating for sleeves i had a different number of st than the pattern

Back: 102 st

Fronts: 48 st

Sleeves: 72 st

Again followed the pattern but taking note the different number of stitches.

Did the waist shaping as described.

Sleeve decreases: decreased every 9 rows, then for the last three decreases
1st decrease after knitting 8 rows
2sd decrease after knitting 7 rows
3rd decrease after knitting 6 rows

I have lost my notes for the arm decreases so i am not entirely sure if this is exactly what i did. The most important is to have 50 sts at the end of your decreases.
I tried as i knitted to adjust according to my arms length.

Voici les modification apportées pour mon petit gilet rayé

Tour de poitrine: 109cm ( 43po“ ) J’ai de gros boobies! :=)

Regardez les augmentations citer plus haut. Il n’est pas obligatoire de faire des diminutions pour la taille.
Pour celles qui m’ont posé des questions sur facebook,lisez le patron attentivement. Il est très bien expliqué. Si vous devez faire des augmentations supplémentaires, l’idée c’est de bien mesurer son tour de poitrine et faire le calcul avec l ‘échantillon. ( 22 mailles = 10cm ) n’hésitez pas à me contacter si vous avez besoin d’aide!
