Paul Cardigan
Classic Cardigan with a Deep V Neck, a Double Knitted Button Band and a Romantic Frill Border all over Body and one Sleeve in Sizes XS | S | M (L | XL | 2XL) 3XL | 4XL | 5XL
Structure:
The cardigan is worked in stockinette stitch with raglan increases and seamlessly from top to bottom. The V neck of the front parts is shaped with additional increases. When the sleeves are separated from the body, the body is finished in stockinette stitch and with a hem in 2x2 ribbed pattern. The sleeves are then worked in stockinette stitch in rounds. After working a bunch of decreases, the sleeves are finished with cuffs in 2x2 ribbed pattern too. Now the double knitted button band is worked along the front parts and the neckline of the cardigan. Last but not least, the frill border is worked in stockinette stitch back and forth in rows and after adding the i-cord-edging, the frill border is sewn onto the cardigan.The fit of the cardigan is loose and oversized. The length is cropped to create a modern, young look. The frill border with the i-cord-edging is the highlight of the design and creates a romantic finishing to a classic cardigan shape.
Level of difficulty: Advanced beginners to medium level of difficulty.
