Vintage style and cozy comfort are combined in the Yvaine Cardigan. Textured diamonds adorn the simple round-neck silhouette and patch pockets. The body is worked in one piece from the bottom up with waist shaping worked along the sides. The sleeves are worked in the round from the cuff up. Yvaine is meant to be worn with about 2” positive ease in the bust; shown in size 38.25” on a 36” bust. Stitch patterns are both written and charted.
