The Abelone Cardigan is a classic cardigan worked in double-stranded mohair in a beautiful organic multi-coloured pattern. It features raglan sleeves and a round neckline, and is finished with an i-cord edging along the front bands and around the neckline.

The Abelone Cardigan is worked top-down with raglan increases and a round neckline. It is knitted back and forth with colour changes according to the chart (intarsia). When the desired length is reached, the cardigan is finished with a rib hem and an Italian bind-off. The sleeves are worked in the round with decreases towards the cuffs and are finished with an i-cord edge. The sleeves are slightly shorter than full length, ending approximately mid-forearm. The front bands and neckline are also finished with an i-cord edging.
