Air Vibe Cardi

Description of Air Vibe Cardi The Air Vibe Cardi is worked top down with raglan increases, a texture pattern, and a V- neck. The texture is created using decreases, an eyelet pattern, and purl sts whilst a stockinette stripe is shaped between the raglan increases. The stockinette stripe continues along each side of the body and on the flipside of the sleeves. Upon finishing the yoke, the body and sleeves are parted and finished separately. The body and sleeves are continuously worked in the texture pattern, while all edges are finished off with twisted rib.

To create a balloon effect on the sleeves, no decreases are worked before the rib edge.

The finishing touch of the cardigan is the button placket along the opening of the cardigan. It is double knitted and includes button holes.

Choosing your size Air Vibe Cardi is designed to have a positive ease of 5-17 cm. Therefore, measure yourself around the bust (or the widest place on your upper body) and choose your size accordingly. Pick the size your measurements lay within.
