Linney Cardigan
Softer then the coziest sweatshirt but much more ladylike.
The body is worked in one piece to the underarms, then fronts and back are divided and worked separately to the shoulders. The sleeves are worked in the round to the underarm then the cap is shaped working back and forth in rows and sewn into place. The neckband is knit separately and sewn into place.
