The Nordkapp Cardigan is a delicious voile, oversized cardigan knitted in semi-patent. It is knitted from top to bottom and can therefore be easily adjusted in length. The front edges are knitted in double crochet, which is started in the center back of the neck edge. The beautiful shoulder and raglan construction creates a nice fall over the shoulder, and is at the same time a really fun knitting task. The technical constructions of the pattern are thoroughly explained. At the same time, there are many technical pictures in the recipe that can help you along the way.
TIP: The cardigan is also nice in a shorter version. If it ends two buttons earlier, you get a beautiful short cardigan that ends at the hip.

*Which size should you choose?
The specified measurements are the finished measurements of the cardigan, when the specified knitting strength in the recipe has been observed and the sweater has been washed. The cardigan has a room for movement (positive ease) of approx. 15-18 cm in relation to the chest measurement and thus has a loose oversize fit.
When you have to choose which size you want to knit, you have to choose based on the excess width in the chart.
The excess width in the recipe is the finished circumference of the cardigan when the knitting strength is respected and the sweater is washed. You can adjust the length of the body and sleeves by knitting slightly more or fewer rows.
Measure your chest measurement and estimate how much extra width your cardigan should have. We recommend that you choose the size where the overhang is 10-18 cm larger than your own chest measurement if you want an oversized look. If you would like a narrower version, start with 5-13 cm larger than your own chest measurement. Try possibly to measure and compare with the excess size of the favorite cardigan in your closet. If you are somewhere between two sizes, you can choose the smaller of the sizes, as half-patent grows quite a bit in use.
The model in the picture is 169 tall and wears size 38 in the top. The cardigan in the picture is a size M/L.
