“For me, this cardigan falls solidly into the category of a wardrobe classic. It’s a garment that can be worn casually over a t-shirt or more dressy over a blouse, but it’s also fitted enough to be worn with the additional layer of a jacket or coat without becoming too bulky. I especially love the texture of the woven rib stitch pattern. With a simple I-Cord finish on the neckline and fronts and three-quarter length sleeves, it has a distinctive tailored look appropriate for all seasons.” − Julie Hoover


CONSTRUCTION

  • All pieces are worked flat from the bottom up, then seamed together.
  • Buttonholes are worked continuously on the Right Front.
  • I-Cord neckline edge is worked from picking up stitches along Front and Back neck edges.
