Viveka cardigan is made in collaboration with Aiayu.

Viveka Cardigan is an oversize v-neck cardigan worked in half fisherman’s rib.

The boxy silhouette, featuring big pockets, creates the right boyfriend look, whilst the deep v-neck and double knitted edges add a feminine feel. The shape is slightly asymmetrical with extra length on the back.

The cardigan is worked from the top down.

SIZE GUIDE

Viveka Cardigan has an oversize fit. The smaller sizes have a greater positive ease than the larger sizes, to complement the individual body, the best. Calculate a positive ease of approx. 35 cm [13.75 inches] in sizes XS-XL and 25-30 cm [9.75-11.75 inches] for sizes 2XL-3XL.

Sizes XS (S) M (L) XL (2XL) 3XL are equivalent to the European standard sizes, 34 (36) 38 (40) 42 (44) 46 and suit a bust circumference of approx. 80-85 (85-90) 90-95 (95-100) 100-110 (110-120) 120-130 cm [31.5-33.5 (33.5-35.5) 35.5-37.25 (37.25-39.25) 39.25-43.25 (43.25-47.25) 47.25-51.25 inches].

Ie.: You measure 89 cm [35 inches] around your chest 35 cm [13.75 inches] = 124 cm [48.75 inches]. Meaning you would choose a size S with a finished circumference of 124 cm [48.75 inches].
