Batray Cardigan is a simple lace drop sleeve cardigan, with a wide body and fitted sleeves. It’s knit from the bottom up, divided at the underarm where the fronts and back are each knit separately. The shoulders are sloped using short rows, and joined by grafting the fronts to back. The sleeves are then picked up and knit top down, after which the buttonband is picked up and knit, making the entire sweater seamless!
With 5-10 inches of positive ease the silhouette of Batray is flattering and stylish.
