Bodil is a cozy and stylish cardigan with short sleeves and an elegant shawl collar.

It is knitted top-down in Handdyed Fat Mohair using stockinette stitch.

First, the upper back is knitted with short rows to shape the shoulders.

Then, the collar is knitted starting at the center back. Following the collar, stitches are picked up for the front pieces, and short rows are knitted as on the back. The front pieces are also knitted in stockinette stitch with wide ribbed edges.

Once the sleeves are bound off, the back and fronts are joined and knitted back and forth, ending with short rows for extra length at the back.

The Bodil Cardigan is ending with a wide ribbed hem.
