Wrap yourself in the cozy embrace of the Twirlace Cardigan, a delightful blend of warmth and intricate design that feels as comforting as a blanket on the coldest of days.
The cardigan features an intricate cable pattern at the center back, creating a striking focal point. On closer inspection, you’ll discover that each side and sleeve has its own unique design — subtle differences that add depth and character, while maintaining a harmonious overall look. Perfect for knitters who appreciate fine details, the Twirlace Cardigan is as rewarding to create as it is to wear.

• After that you pick up stitches from the diagonal shoulder on the right side and work the right front according to chart; then you pick up stitches from the diagonal shoulder on the left side and work the left front.
• After reaching the underarms, you join the left front, the back and the right front together and work them in once piece.
• Then you pick up the sleeve stitches along the armholes and work the sleeves in the round.
• The buttonband is worked together with the body, so you will only have to attach buttons and weave in ends after knitting, no additional work is needed.
