Colette Cardigan is a relaxed, top down cardigan with an elegant Japanese shoulder line and clean, modern look. The body is worked flat in rows from the neck down in classic stockinette stitch, which gives the garment a beautiful drape and great fit. The silhouette is oversized with approximately 22 cm / 8.75” of positive ease, perfect for layering over shirts and dresses.

The sleeves are picked up at the armhole and worked in the round down to the cuff with neat decreases. All finishing details - 1×1 rib on the button band, cuffs, hem and neckline - are trimmed with a tidy tubular finish so the cardigan looks polished and ready to wear straight off the needles.

The pattern includes detailed written instructions, helpful notes for the more intricate steps and links to video tutorials, so you will not get lost in the tricky parts.
