Description:
This cardigan is knit for a for a friend with an affinity for form-fitting retro 80’s sweaters. After dredging all the details out of him, I decided on a top-down raglan sweater in order to best suit his fit, as well as to allow for a high collar and a zipper. For the retro 80’s part, he decided mirrored lightning bolts would do the trick.

Modifications:

• Zippered Cardigan
• Lightning bolts on both sides of zipper on the chest.
• Tighter fit, longer torso and sleeves
• Added underarm triangles to alleviate a tight chest due to my forgetting all about ease when creating the pattern.
