Cardigan features unusual construction in which a straight piece of fabric is set along a rounded edge at each side, creating a peplum effect. Block pattern, just slightly larger than double moss stitch, is reversible, so no edgings are necessary. Button choice can influence the garment’s impression, nudging it toward stylish or wild.
