Crossroads. Select simplicity of cut and fine details for a cardigan that is classic and tailored. Or, add lace and embellished sleeves and wrap yourself in romance. Which path will you choose?

The Straightaway
The Straightaway is a crossover cardigan with 2x2 ribbing on the left front and ⅓ of the back. The right sleeve has a ribbed angular design. An interior button and an outside decorative button secure the overlap in place.

The Scenic Route
The Scenic Route is a wraparound cardigan with a zig zag Lace pattern on the left front and ⅓ of the back. Both sleeves have Lace cuffs that end in a point midway on the forearm. One wrapping tie threads through the right waist meeting the tie in front.

The Short Cut
Made either as a crossover or wraparound, the Short Cut has short sleeves. One sleeve is stockinette stitch; the other can be either zig zag Lace or the Rib pattern matching the left front. The sample shown is the Lace pattern with a buttoned crossover.
