The Nevyn cardigan features beautifully detailed cables, mock ribbing, and I-cord edgings, combined with a body skimming fit. The back cable panel creates a subtle waist shaping (CHART ONLY), the vertical lines of the overall ribbing pattern elongate and flatter a wide range of body types, while the zipper accentuates the garment’s modern vibe and clean lines.

Nevyn is knitted in pieces and sewn together in order to provide extra support along the side seams; this prevents stretching and helps balance out the weight of the back cable motif and the front zipper. If desired, the length of the sweater can be easily customized by working extra rows before the beginning of the back cable pattern.
