The back of this cardigan is knit in one piece from side to side and then folded on itself to create the sleeves. The construction is similar to my origami pullover design, but the front is made long enough to go all around the neck to create the cardigan. The front has a simple knot stitch pattern to add some interest to the knitting. The back is knit in stst and knot stitch. I have posted a you-tube video for help in sewing the pieces together.

This elegant and loosely fitting garment has a soft rolled collar that leads into a beautifully detailed front panel. Worked in three pieces that are sewn together, this pattern is great for beginners and a blast to knit for the more advanced!
