Cardigan/Knitted Jacket Gita - Sizes 36 to 42 One Size
(To

A
lightweight knitted piece for all seasons – whether worn over or under – simple, with an eye-catching collar area.
Both patterns used are absolutely easy (only knit and purl stitches). The collar design requires a little care. Unlike the “Margit” model, the sleeves are knitted with a sleeve cap. The length is variable.
The
illustrated pattern with stitch- and row-by-row instructions is based on a gauge of approx. 14.5 sts = approx. 10 cm with size 6.0 knitting needles. Due to the casual shape and stretchiness of the jacket, one stitch more or less is not that crucial. So it’s no problem if 14 or 15 sts = approx. 10 cm. If your gauge differs more significantly, please choose a larger or smaller knitting needle size.
The pattern does not include a knitting course, but it does include helpful link tips.
Difficulty level due to the collar design: medium
