A very classic cardigan in half fisherman’s rib with a slightly unusual construction.
The cardigan is knitted top down, starting with the collar, which is knitted in double knitted technique.
Along the edge of the collar the stitches for the saddle shoulder and the back are picked up.
These are knitted up to the shoulder width and then put on hold. Now the front pieces are picked up from the front edge of the saddle shoulder and knitted in short rows. Then the back is joined to the front pieces and knitted in rows.
