Four Corners is a loose-fitting, v-necked fair isle cardigan with a generous ribbed shawl collar and long, wide sleeves for a modern flair. An optional belt adds waist definition if desired. The body is in knit in the round, with steeks at the front, arms, and back neck. The sleeves can be worked “siamese” style, or separately using double points. Only one size is given (women’s medium, 38 in/96 cm bust with approximately 1” ease), but the design can be sized up or down by adding or subtracting stitches, or by using a smaller needle.
