Vanina is a short, simple summer cardigan with flower embroidery. It is knitted seamlessly top down. Short rows shape the neckline while increases along four raglan lines form the shoulders.
The elegant, cropped cardigan is worked in stockinette stitch with broad edges in garter stitch pattern. It can be closed with a single button.
If desired, the right shoulder section can be embroidered with vivid flowers along the sleeve.
The sizes correspond to bust circumference as follows: XS (S; M; L; XL; XXL) = 29 (32; 35; 39; 42; 47)“ /74 (82; 90; 98; 107; 119 cm bust circumference (measured at the body).
The cardigan is cut short and straight with 3/4 length sleeves and should fit tightly. The front parts overlap a bit. Example: If you have a bust measurement of 35” (90 cm), then knit the cardigan in size M and it will fit tightly with just little positive ease.
