From ‘Knitting Today’s Classics’: The design of this cardigan combines a basket-weave texture and twist stitches in a smoothing, repetitive pattern stitch that can be quickly memorized. The cropped silhouette of the cardigan features set-in sleeves, making the design great for both dressy and casual wear. Choose antique or heirloom buttons to finish this sweater, which will become a favorite for years to come.
