A rather unique construction, this pattern starts at
the centre back to form the curved yoke. Completely
seamless, the cardi is fun to knit and so cozy to wear. The
half-fisherman’s rib stitch offers maximum warmth for the
back and sleeves, while the front is worked in stockinette
stitch and gently sloping cables. The back incorporates
short rows for a flattering curve to the bottom edge.
Finished with a 2-way zip, this will become your favourite
sweater!
