Description

The Cluck Couture Sweater or Cardigan is a top-down seamless design, offered in ten adult sizes and a cropped length.

This pattern includes two versions: a sweater and a cardigan.
Both versions are worked in one piece from the top down, with yoke shaping achieved through increases. Short rows are worked at the back neck to improve the fit.

For the cardigan, the body is steeked at the center front after knitting is complete, and stitches are then picked up along the edges to work the front bands.
