LEONFORTE - a man’s zipped cardigan in DK-weight wool in an elastic pattern. The model has a good but relaxed fit. The cardigan is worked flat from the right front opening across to the left front opening bottom up in the old fashioned way as I prefer to get the optimal fit. Written pattern with chart. No sideseams. The sleeves are set-in sleeves. The zip is to put between a band knitted on top the cardigan both sides along the opening. Difficulty of execution measured from 1 (beginner) to 5 (advanged): 4.
