ABOUT THE PATTERN
The Zinnia Cardigan is a top-down raglan cardigan with center front cable panels. Attached I-cord edging and seed-stitch finishing give this cardigan a polished feel. Zinnia does not include a button band so it can be worn as either an open-front cardigan or closed with moveable stud buttons. Stud buttons are wonderful for this since they can be moved to get the fit and placement just how you want it for each outfit. Pattern includes 9 sizes. Cable panel charted and written.

This pattern has been tech edited and test knit.
