Inspired by the woods from childhood memories, Chalkney is named after an ancient woodland, full of timeworn twisting trees and Roman trackways.

Designed to be worn without button closures, the fronts of this cardigan have extra width to allow for them to be wrapped over one another and secured with a pin if desired, or to just hang loose. Chalkney is knit flat from the bottom up to the underarm, where sleeves and body are then joined and raglan decreases used to shape the upper section. The stitch patterns are both charted and written.

Sample is 39.5” size; model is 34” bust.
