This cardigan is a textured top-down drop shoulder cardigan, featuring a rib and cable repeating pattern throughout. The cardigan also has slightly tapered sleeves.

The cardigan is worked back and forth in rows for the back, making increases along the way. Then stitches are picked up along the slanted edge for the shoulders, working back and forth until underarm stitches are casted on and joined to the back yoke to form the body, the remainder of the body is also worked back and forth. The sleeve stitches are then picked up and then worked in the round. Stitches are then picked up along the internal edge of the body and the button band is worked using double knitting.

Techniques used are: 2 stitch cable (left and right leaning), Tubular cast on (for the button band only), Tubular bind off (including prep work), Increases and decreases, Pattern repeats, Double knitting (buttonband), Optional chart for back yoke increases.
