Because of the sideways construction, the Sidelines Cardigan’s wide rib texture with slipped stitch detail turns into a textural horizontal stripe pattern that is combined with a wide hem, cuffs, and buttonband in twisted ribbing and a folded neckline (optionally worked in contrasting colors). The modular construction makes this an (almost) seamless project.
Sidelines is a casually oversized cardigan that can be tailored to your preferences: With 8 body and sleeve circumferences, 6 lengths from cropped to tunic-length, and 3 neckline options to choose from, you can mix and match to create your dream cardigan!
(taxes may apply)
Customize your size by combining any circumference, length and neckline option:*
* Circumferences 7 & 8 can’t be combined with Length a. Any other combination is possible!
Bust Circumference:
96 (106, 117, 127, 137)[147, 157, 167] cm
38 (42, 46, 50, 54)[58, 62, 66]”
including 15 cm / 6” positive ease
Pick a size that is about 15 cm / 6” wider than your bust circumference (body measurement); less ease will result in a tighter-fitting cardigan, more ease will result in a more over-sized cardigan.
