Notes: Campaña, which means bell in Spanish, was inspiration for this cardigan. This feminine long sleeve was designed to be worn with just a pair of jeans. The design starts with the back part of the collar and stitches are picked up along the back side. Then the raglan design is worked top down together with the button band. The bell sleeves have matching lace patten that. runs through the length of the sleeves. The body has a slight waist shaping to add to the feminine effect and finished with ribbing at the bottom.
