Lupin was my very first pattern. A light and cropped cardigan, perfect to wear with dresses. Two years after my first designing experience, here is a worsted weight sweater version.
This garment has an ingenious shape, knit from top down with a nice shoulder line that is built in progressively. The sleeves stitches are picked up along the armholes and the shoulder’s shaping is worked using short rows.
