The Aspyn Cardigan is a DK weight top down cardigan, featuring 2x2 rib, cables and moss stitch. It features a drop shoulder and an oversized fit. It is worked flat from the top down, starting with the back yoke. Stitches are picked up for each front shoulder and are knit down until the front and back yokes are connected at the underarms. The body is continued to be knit down flat to the ribbing. Stitches are picked up for the sleeve and are knit down in the round in moss stitch. Stitches are picked up for each front button band, followed by the chunky collar. Finishings include attaching buttons to the front button band and hand stitching the collar closed.
