Stina is a warm and cosy cardigan that is perfect for winter days. It is knitted in one piece from bottom to top, has raglan sleeves, a light V-neck and a saddle shoulder. The simple chess stitch pattern is a perfect surrounding for the cables on front and back parts. Even though Stina looks as if to be very advanced - it can be knitted even from intermediate beginners. All patterns are both charted and described in written instructions (only in English version)!
