CONSTRUCTION
This cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down. The yoke is shaped with short rows. The whole cardigan is worked in a textural stitch pattern while alternating two yarns on every third row. Finishing is minimal for a delicate look that highlights the shape and surface of the cardigan. The cardigan has a relaxed fit and shorter sleeve length. Continue working according to patt as established through the short row shapings and yoke increases.
