Wide lapels extend into a deep fold-over shawl collar, tailored with short-rows to create an elegant fit at the back neck. Garter stitch trim and toggle closures give this cardigan a relaxed feel to become a comfortable yet polished “weekend” wardrobe staple.

Cardigan is worked in one piece to underarms, and then split for back and fronts. Sleeves are knit circularly and then joined to the body for a raglan shaped yoke. Lapels are knitted in and worked on the bias. Left and right collar tabs are then shaped using short-rows and grafted in the back.
