Cables create chevron-like movement in this oversized cardigan. The cuffed sleeves and bottom hem are ribbed to match the shawl collar.

Due to the heavy nature of this garment it is advisable to reinforce the shoulder seams and back neck against stretching. This may be achieved by sewing a rigid tape or a line of running stitch along shoulder seams and across the base of rib at neck after making up.
