Ribbing:

Cardigan: 90cm if ribbing is 70cm wide, 70cm if ribbing is 90cm wide
Cardigan version: 5 buttons (short cardigan) or 6 buttons (long cardigan). Depending on the fabric used, you can choose to make buttonholes or use snaps. Iron-on interfacing for jersey.
Chamaille can be sewn with a knit fabric that has some thickness: sweatshirt fleece, brushed back knit, knit fabric, ribbed knit, chenille knit, velour knit, French terry...
Note: Knit fabrics are often more difficult to sew (they are more "slippery", fray more easily, stretch...). It's a material that lends itself well to sewing Chamaille, but if you are a beginner, I advise you to start with a fabric with more body like sweatshirt fleece or French terry.
