Pan cardigan (KIDS)
The Pan cardigan is a classic ribbed cardigan with a slightly boxy fit and dropped shoulders. The cardigan is worked in half brioche rib from bottom up. The sleeves are picked up from the body and worked in the round towards the cuffs.
The cardigan is knitted holding one strand of fingering weight together with a strand of lace weight silk mohair. The button band is knitted using only the fingering yarn, but holding it double. You can either pick the fingering weight yarn and the silk mohair yarn that have the same colorway, or choose yarns that have a bit of contrast, which makes the button band slightly more visible.
The Pan cardigan is named after Peter Pan.
