Better Waverly
ABOUT THE DESIGN
Worked flat and from the top down, the Better Waverly cardigan features plenty of positive ease with a deep yoke and a modest puff sleeve. Waist shaping is added before the wide ribbed hem for the garment to casually hang off the body without an ultra boxy look. An easy one by one rib button band is added to match the hem and cuffs. This is a great pattern for beginner knitters ready to take on the challenge of knitting a cardigan!
