Montrouge

montrouge-big001

Montrouge is a feminine cardigan with the perfect length for dresses and skirts.

It is knitted from the top down, in one piece, with set-in sleeves in the round. The waist and hips are shaped in a unique way on this cardigan:the shaping takes place on the front, the sides and the back, with a specific ratio to follow closely the back curve and avoid being too adjusted on the tummy.

The pattern is based on standard clothing industry measurements, but very few women have identical measurements. For example you can decrease less stitches on the waist if needed. Take your bust measurements and compare them to the standard ones. You should choose the size tou will knit according to your bust circumference. Everything else can be adapted.

What they think about the pattern…

I can’t take credit for the design of the button band nor the fit — it is a fabulous pattern which I was so blessed to have had the opportunity to test knit!

Test knit…a great & well-designed pattern. I love the shaping at waist & hips and the button band is such a nice feature.
