Twisted stitches take on a hyper dimension when knit in a bulky yarn. Giant styled flowers fill the simple silhouette of this dropped-shouldered cardigan, while narrow sleeves offset the roominess of the length and width. If you prefer a looser sleeve, or if you are a man, or knitting this for a man, pick up the sleeve and knit in a larger size. A high collar hugs the neck in a clean, simple modification of a shawl collar, which is not meant to fold over.
