MOHAIR BOMBER CARDIGAN - PATTERN

With this pattern you can make your own cool mohair bomber. A nice, warm and fluffy yet lightweight cardigan.

The cardigan is knitted with a double thread. This vest is made up of 5 separate parts: a back panel, 2 front panels and 2 sleeves. The sleeve insert is straight and the neckline is attached by picking up stitches.

SIZE
S /M /L / XL

MEASUREMENTS
The Bomber Cardigan is slightly shorter but oversized in width. The extra ease ranges from 11 to 20 cm. To choose the right size, measure the widest part of your chest. Size S is suitable for a chest circumference of 86–91 cm, size M for 92–97 cm, size L for 98–103 cm, and size XL for 104–110 cm. For example, if your chest circumference is 95 cm, choose size M. This will give you a comfortable extra space of about 11–16 cm. The actual measurements of the cardigan are listed in the pattern.
