The Verona cardigan is a classic knit with a hip-length style, featuring a V-neck and long, balloon sleeves. This top-down design is composed of two contrasting colours in Stockinette stitch pattern in raglan, using M1L and M1R. The front edge is knitted in double knit once the entire garment has been completed. Ribbing on the neckline, cuffs, and hem finishes the look. If extra length is desired, additional yarn should be accounted for - making it perfect to pair with any outfit.
