A minimalist elbow-length cardi is ladylike in Kiso colorway #3 Songbird, a soft mélange of mauve, ebony and white. Sleek in stockinette with k1, p1 edgings, it features smart V-neck shaping. The fold-over collar is worked separately in cushioned k1, p1 ribbing and sewn to the neckline edge. Narrow sleeves, trimmed with deep ribbed borders at the cuffs, offset the easy drop shoulders. The pockets are picked up along the hemline and knit to the top edge, then sewn in place at the sides.
