KAYRA is a light cardigan knitted from the bottom starting at the body, on to the sleeves, and all the way up to the armpits. Stitches are cast off for the armpits, then the pieces are put together and the yoke is worked, decreasing evenly over the rows. Increases are made decoratively in the middle of the sleeves (for the larger sizes there is an additional increase on the underside). The pockets are knitted directly into the front panels with narrow perforated stripes adorning them and the waistband. It has a nice, loose fit, making it very comfortable to wear over t-shirts or long sleeve shirts. Sizes: The sizes correspond to the bust circumference as follows: (XS; S; M) (L; XL; XXL) (3XL; 4XL; 5XL) = (30; 32; 35) (39; 42; 46) (50; 54; 58)" / (76; 82; 90) (98; 107; 117) (127; 137; 147) cm breast circumference (measured at the body).
