Description of Margareta Hallin:
The knitted jacket Astrid is a lovely garment that can be used both indoors and outdoors, depending on the fabric you are sewing in and the weather, of course. It has slightly tapered and slightly shorter sleeves and is tied with a tie belt with buckles. There are additional pockets in the pattern, but in stronger fabrics these can become a bit baggy. It is "normal in size, but if you choose a stronger fabric and want to use the cardigan as a jacket, I recommend going up a size. If you want, you can also lengthen both the front and back as well as the sleeves. If you lengthen the waist, you must remember to lengthen the collar bands by the same amount.
The pattern is printed on a stronger paper that can be saved. The description is printed in color with pictures with a step-by-step guide to help you get going. Everything is delivered in a bag where you can store both the pattern sheet and the description.
Fabric choice
Astrid can be sewn in several different fabrics, wool, lined jacquard, denim, etc. will make a thicker jacket, while you can just as easily choose viscose, cotton or lyocell for a thinner and perhaps more festive jacket. In the picture, I have sewn the jacket in a lined jacquard, as well as a wool fabric.
Sizes and fabric consumption
It includes a pattern sheet for sizes xs-xxl and clear instructions so that you can easily sew my cardigan Astrid. Look at the picture and you will see how much fabric is needed for your particular size.
