About Summer Cardi
Summer Cardigan is top down constructed, and the method used for this cardigan is similar as Cocoknits method.It has the same depth of V neck for all sizes 22.5 cm and same length for all sizes 23cm measured from the armhole and popular „puff” sleeves look. First the button band of the back neck is worked, than front until underarm. After finishing the front, stitches for the back are picked up and worked as for the front. Then the front and back are joined and knitted flat in the stockinette stitch together with button band until the end. Neck and bust are shaped with German short rows. This piece is more suitable for knitters with some knitting experience or with those who have already met with short rows.
