PASTELLE is a lightweight top down knitted cardigan with a diamond pattern on the front and back.
It is knitted using the contiguous method for shaping the top part.
The cardigan has a boat neck line, no waist shaping but due to the lightness of the knitwear it hugs your curves.
It features knitted buttons using I-cord.

The pattern is not a light reading , it requires chart reading skills and some attention while knitting the pattern,because it’s a row by row chart.
