GRETA Cardigan

Description

fOTOS Design und Text © Lotilda (Tanja Koenigs)

The GRETA Oversize Cardigan is knitted from above (RVO) downwards in the Raglan. The lower part becomes narrower towards the hip and the front parts become wider towards the bottom. The wide sleeves become a little narrower towards the bundle and are knitted in back and forth rows, which are later closed with the mattress stitch. There is nothing against knitting the sleeves in rounds, but this is not described in this guide (but see note on the sleeve). All the ribbons and the subsequently knitted cut-out diaphragm are knitted in the lifting mesh ribbon.

In the instructions, a separate auxiliary table for the ragl component is provided for each size. All increases are listed there per row, including the mesh number. Based on the table, you keep an overview and can conveniently tick off the knitted rows and control the increases.
