This elegant button-up cardigan features a beautiful trellis pattern created with eyelets and a twist stitch technique. The soft, luxurious feel of the yarn complements the intricate design, making this piece both comfortable and visually stunning. Perfect for layering, the Tosca cardigan adds a refined, textured touch to any outfit.

Beginning with split hems, Tosca is knit flat to the underarms in one piece. The back and fronts are completed separately and seamed at the shoulders. Sleeves are knit flat separately and seamed during finishing. 

Stitch patterns are both charted and written out.
