Aspen Cardigan
This is a saddle-shoulder cardigan, knitting from the top down.
Featuring a minimal silhouette, it tapers slightly at the waist. The sleeves are 9/10 length with ribbing just above the wrists. The small colour-work at the sleeve ends adds a touch of spice.
This is a thick cardigan that can also a jacket in spring or fall.
► Construction
Create a saddle-shoulder yoke starting from the neckband and continue until before separating sleeves. Once sleeves are separated, finish the body first, and then proceed to make the sleeves.
Complete the piece by creating a plump button band on both fronts.
