Description: A warm and comfortable men’s cardigan, casual enough to wear for a stroll in the park but with a touch of urban chic for a day in the city. The pattern was inspired by the vertical ribbed stitch pattern; it gives an overall texture but with a flattering vertical line. The cardigan has a garter stitch lower band and a slightly longer length for a more “jacket feel”. The fronts and back are knit flat in one piece from the bottom up with ribbed side panels for shaping. At the armholes, side sections are bound off , back section worked, then fronts worked then fronts and back woven together at the shoulder. The sleeves are modified drop style with a pattern stitch panel down each sleeve, bordered by a small cable on each side. The sleeves are worked from the top down, picking up stitches from the armhole and working to the cuff. The ribbed side panels give fit and shaping. They can be left as it for a more form fitting garment or blocked out slightly to give ease. Either way they add a tailored detail in both look and fit.
