Sophisticated Fresh…

The Elisbeth Cardi features lovely Celtic motifs centered in modern decorative ribbing. Side shaping gives a flattering and contemporary fit. The cardi is finished with a ribbed shawl collar and sleeves. (Instructions are included for cap and long sleeves.)

This garment is constructed from the bottom up in one piece to the underarms, then in section pieces to the shoulders. Top-down sleeves or armhole edgings are picked-up and knit after Body is completed and knit-in-the-round to hem.
