Indulge yourself with the understated elegance of Notch. Sophisticated details, impeccable fit and airy warmth make this a must-knit statement piece.

NOTES: The cardigan pieces are worked flat from the bottom up, starting with an Alternate Cable Cast On, followed by a Half-Twisted Rib stitch pattern. The Sloped Bind Off Method, double decreases, and double increases are used to shape the cardigan. Notch is designed to have overlapping fronts. Twice the cross-back at underarm is given as finished bust circumference to best reflect garment fit.
