Interweave SKU: EP2645

This asymmetrical cardigan features a ruched front edge, ruffled trim, V-neck, waist shaping, and set-in sleeves. An unusual alpaca yarn is used to great effect in a structured but draped sweater. (Interweave)

Ed. note: The description of this pattern on the Interweave Web site calls for a size 10 needle but shows the 10 as 6.5 mm size. That’s why both US 10 and US 10.5 are listed, since the 10.5 is actually the 6.5 mm equivalent.
