Chartres Cardigan
The Chartres Cardigan is a seamless cardigan which is knit top-down. The buttonband is knit at the same time as the rest of the garment so absolutely no seaming is required. It is a classic fit, designed to be worn with approximately 2 - 4”/ 5 - 10cm of ease. The cardigan features a classic v-neck and is high hip length with instructions for shortening or lengthening if desired. A romantic style, simple but with some sleeve drama, it can be dressed up or down and looks equally good over dresses or ripped jeans. Chartres would be a great first cardigan or first set in sleeve design due to its simple stocking stitch texture.
