Aegina cardigan is the type of sweater I love to wrap up in all year round. The garment features an cable motifs trimmed with ribbed hems. The shawl collar and modified drop-shoulder construction create a cozy fit with classic appeal.

• Cardigan is worked back and forth in one piece from top down. The sleeves are worked in the round from the top down.
• German short-rows are used for collar and shoulder shaping. Knitters could use any other short-row method of their choice.
