Wrap yourself in the wonderful feeling of this easy sideways-knit boxy cardigan, in stretchy garter stitch with short row yoke shaping.

This simple construction method is explained with extensive notes on fit and customization, to achieve a perfect individual harmony with your sweater. Elysium is knit in one piece from left front band, around the body to right front band; it requires no seaming and can be worn right off the needles. Three turning points in the short row shaping delineate body, yoke and collar, creating a shapely fit around the upper body. Written in ten sizes, Elysium can be further customized for length or circumference.

Techniques Used: knit, short rows.
