Description

The Darcy Cardigan is a Raglans knitting jacket with special shoulder details, which creates a great cut. It impresses with deep raglan lines and with the sleeves on the top of the sleeves they receive a sculptural silhouette. Blinds and necklaces are last. The Darcy Cardigan fits perfectly with pants and dresses.

Konstruktion
The Darcy Cardigan is worked from top to bottom. First, shortened rows are made to shape the neckline, while at the same time raglan increases and shoulder increases are knitted centrally on the sleeves. Once all increases are made, the sleeve stitches are decommissioned and the back/fronts are worked down in rows. Afterwards, the sleeves are completed in rounds. Lastly, the bezels and the neck tuft are knitted and the buttons are sewn on.

Größenguide
The Darcy Cardigan is designed with a range of movement of about 15-20 cm. Both the olive-green and the bordeaux-colored cardigan are shown with a range of movement of about 20 cm (see photos of the bordeaux-colored version at www.leknit.com). Note that the Darcy Cardigan is relatively short. Calculate additional yarn if you want to knit it longer. You calculate your personal breast circumference by measuring yourself around the breast (or around the widest part of your torso). Then look at the measurements in the guide (the measurements refer to the finished cardigan). The positive ease is the difference between your personal breast circumference and the breast circumference of the finished cardigan. For example, if your breast circumference is 94 cm, you get at Gr. M has a range of movement of 20 cm (114 cm – 94 cm = 20 cm).
