This easy fitting cardigan has dropped shoulders and buttons to a round neck, finished with a turn-back collar. It’s knitted in stocking stitch with ribbed borders. The scattered flower motifs are worked in small lengths of contrast color using the intarsia method to avoid stranding across the back.
