Basic Black
Everyone needs a basic black cardigan. This is my version of that simple sweater - garter stitch, loose fitting raglan yoke and flattering waist shaping. Accidentally added spot of hand dyed yarn at the bottom of the hem only made this more special!
Finished chest circumference: 30½ (34½, 38½, 42½, 46½, 50½)” / 76 (86, 96, 106, 116, 126) cm. Choose a size with a small amount of positive ease.
Yarn: 6 (6, 7, 7, 8, 9) skeins of Semilla DK by BC Garn and 1 partial skein of DK Twist by Madelinetosh.
