The Simplewavecardi is knitted seamlessly top down and worn oversized for a casual and comfy fit. It’s knitted with raglan increases and has pockets in the front. The hem edges of the body and the sleeves are worked using the Icord bind-off method, which is also used for the opening of the pockets. This cardi is worked with a neckband in double knit, which complements its minimalistic style. The Cotton waves quality gives it an interesting structure and in combination with the matching Simplewavetop it’s a cute set that works for spring, summer and autumn.

Size guide 
 
The cardi should be knitted with a positive ease of approx. 15 – 25 cm. The size is determined by the bust circumference, which is approximately

If the bust circumference is between two sizes, you can decide individually whether the cardi should be more or less oversized.
