The Anouk-cardigan is a cozy basic pattern in a simple stockinette stitch. It is easy to follow, even for beginners. You begin with working the two front pieces and the back up to the armholes in one piece, then divide the work into individual pieces and work each piece separately.

The cardigan band is knitted directly to the fronts, only being sewn onto the back neckline at the end. The sleeves have a sleeve cap to ensure the cardigan sits well on the shoulders. The V-neck cardigan closes with five buttons.
