A play on the original Gigi cardigan, this lovely cabled pullover adds style to any outfit. Dress up a long-sleeved blouse and jeans or a dress with this stylish layering piece or wear it alone on a warmer day. The short sleeves make it very versatile, and it keeps you warm without the bulk of long sleeves. Short sleeves also make it a quick knit for yourself or to give as a gift!

Pattern Notes
This is a classy, top-down raglan style pullover with 2-3 inches of ease which is worked in the round on circular needles. The body of the sweater is worked in stockinette stitch with a large cable motif running down the front. Like the original Gigi, the sleeves are worked in reverse stockinette. The collar is worked vertically and is adorned by a single button closed with an i-cord loop.
