Sidelines Cardigan

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!

DETAILS

Mix & Match Sizing:

Customize your size by combining any circumference, length and neckline option:*

Finished Bust Circumference for sizes 1 (2, 3, 4, 5)[6, 7, 8]:  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.
