Fouetté Cardigan Sizing

I recommend choosing a size based on your upper chest measurement, or the one that will fit your shoulders best.

Intended to fit an upper chest of 31”, 34.25”, 37.5”, (40.75”, 44”, 47.35”) {50.5”, 53.75”, 57”, 60.25”} / 77.5 cm, 85.5 cm, 94 cm, (102 cm, 110 cm, 118 cm) {126.5 cm, 134.5 cm, 142.5 cm, 150.5 cm}.

and a full bust of 30”, 34”, 38”, (42”, 46”, 50”) {54”, 58”, 62”, 66”} / 75 cm, 85 cm, 95 cm, (105 cm, 115 cm, 125 cm) {135 cm, 145 cm, 155 cm, 165 cm}.

Finished garment bust circumference:
39”, 43”, 47”, (51”, 55”, 59”) {63”, 67”, 71”, 75”} / 97 cm, 107 cm, 117 cm, (127 cm, 137 cm, 147 cm) {157 cm, 167 cm, 177 cm, 187 cm}

Graded to be worn with 9” / 22.5 cm of positive ease at the bust and 4” / 10 cm at the bicep. The shoulders are graded to drop ~4.5” / 11.5 cm past your shoulder.

Length can easily be added to the body in half repeats of the chart, and an alternate hem set-up round is provided in the case of a half repeat finish. The pattern also includes modifications for less dramatic forearm shaping, a deeper neckline, and a wider buttonband. The waist shaping can be mostly skipped, and some test knitters did elect to work less waist shaping than written.

Please see the size chart and schematic in the photos for additional garment measurements, A-G are finished garment measurements.

2G+C = The garment’s cross shoulder measurement. You can compare this to your own cross shoulder measurement to see how much the shoulders of each size would drop on you.

Sample is size 2 worn with the recommended ease. I am 5’6” / 166 cm.
