This cardigan is cozy as well as elegant. It is fabulous worn with jeans and equally lovely paired with your cutest winter skirts. There is enough ease for comfort and enough fit for a flattering silhouette!

The construction is unique and interesting to knit. The pattern starts with the middle section of the body which is worked side to side. The top and bottom sections are picked up from the center section. The shoulders are seamed then the sleeves are picked up and worked in the round from the top down. Button bands and neck band are picked up and knit at the very end.
