Chunky Mollie

Chunky Mollie has small puff sleeves that give the jacket a fine vintage expression. In addition, they are easy to knit and without much sewing work. The jacket fits almost every piece of clothing and every season and is therefore a real all-round talent.

Konstruktion
The cardigan is knitted from bottom to top. The rear and front are worked in one piece up to the arm cutouts. The sleeves are knitted up in rounds. All parts are then folded together on a circular knitting needle and knitted up to the end of the arm ball. The front and back are then finished separately (the upper ones about 3 cm + the shoulder slopes). The upper and lower sides of the sleeves are then sewn onto the arm cutout. Finally, the diaphragms and the neck cutout are made.

Chunky Mollie should have a range of movement (positive ease) of 7-10 cm. Take your chest circumference (or the widest part of your upper body) before you start knitting. Add 7-10 cm to these dimensions and find the size that is closest to your dimensions in the manual. The sleeves have an extra wide ribbed tuft and are 5 – 6 cm longer than usual.
