This is a written pattern with two separate files - one with 1x1 rib bands and one with 2x2 rib bands.

The design feature cables, texture and exposed seams .… 

Wear this cute cropped cardigan upside down for a fun casual wrap-with-sleeves feeling …. upside down the cables run across the yoke and down the top of each sleeve and the seamed yoke becomes a feature across the back of the cardigan.

Worn the right way up, this is a classic style with a relaxed feel. It has a dropped shoulder line, a yoke with exposed seams, cables running down the body and the underside of each sleeve, the left front has a textured pattern and you can choose to knit either a patterned or plain yoke.

The 1 x 1 rib version, features a right front band with a cable pattern that can double as a button band.
