Nimiane is a delicately cabled, top-down raglan cardigan. The intricate cable runs down the back, with reflected versions of the same cable on the sleeves. There is no finishing work, as the button band is integrated as you work the cardigan fronts. Optional waist shaping instructions are included. Nimiane is a name for the Arthurian Lady of the Lake.
