Adrift
For those cool evenings this soft, airy, elegant draped cardigan will keep you warm and stylish. Knit from the top down, this cardigan has long front panels which are designed to either hang down forming a cascading front or be pinned across the front like a shawl.
To find the correct size to fit, measure across your high bust line (approximately under your armpits) and use this as your size guide. Due to the stretchy nature of the fabric you should use this actual measurement; if you are between sizes knit the smaller size.
Options are given in the pattern for both short sleeves and 3/4 length sleeves.
Details are given in pattern on working short rows and an elastic bind off.
