This is a classic, feminine cardigan that’s easy to knit but never boring. The braided cables are comfortably familiar while adding a child-like sweetness. This lightweight design can be a transition piece as we get ready for Spring, or dress up your office wear routine. This cardigan is worked flat, top-down, with a circular yoke. Sleeves are also knit top-down from live stitches. Yoke length, sleeve length and torso length are all adjustable.
