Short Cardigan with Neck (V-neck)
A classic, timeless cardigan with a V-neck. Perfect for any occasion - from everyday styling with jeans to elegant evenings.

Pattern and construction:

The sweater is knitted from the top using the raglan method, which allows for an easy fit. The V-shaped neckline is formed by adding eyelets on both sides of the front. After the eyelets are divided, the body and sleeves are knit downward, allowing you to adjust the length to your personal preference. Finishes with 1x1 ribbing give the project a neat look.
A perfect project for both beginners and advanced knitters!

Tips:

Sample: 21 stitches x 28 rows = 10 x 10 cm (on 4 mm wire).
The sweater is designed to end at the waist, but you can lengthen it if you prefer a longer cut.
When choosing buttons, make sure they are lightweight so as not to stretch the delicate yarn.
