Men want a basic shape but those usually doing the knitting for the men want a little something more. This classic cardigan is worked from the back bottom hem to the front bottom hem, in one piece. Short rows shape the shoulders and a set-in sleeves finish off this sweater with a classic, well fitting, cardigan.
