The Nordkapp Cardigan in this short version is knitted using 2 strands of Deluxe Silk Mohair in half-patent stich. It is knitted from the top down, allowing for easy length adjustments. The front edges are knitted in double knitting, starting at the center back of the neck. The beautiful shoulder and raglan construction creates a lovely drape over the shoulders and is also a very enjoyable knitting project. The pattern's technical constructions are thoroughly explained, and there are many technical photos in the pattern to help guide you.

*What size should you choose?
The stated measurements are for the finished cardigan when the gauge in the pattern is adhered to and the sweater is washed. The cardigan has approx. 15-18 cm of positive ease compared to the chest measurement, resulting in a loose, oversized fit.
When selecting a size to knit, choose based on the chest circumference in the chart.
The chest circumference in the pattern is the finished circumference of the cardigan when the gauge is met and the sweater is washed. You can adjust the length of the body and sleeves by knitting a few more or fewer rows.
Measure your chest and assess how much extra width you want for your cardigan. We recommend choosing a size where the chest circumference is 10-18 cm larger than your own chest measurement if you want an oversized look. If you prefer a narrower fit, select a size that is 5-13 cm larger than your own chest measurement. You might also compare with the chest circumference of your favorite cardigan in your wardrobe. If you are between two sizes, you can choose the smaller size as half-patent grows quite a bit in use.
The model in the picture is 169 cm tall and wears a size 28 top. The cardigan in the picture is size M/L.
