Comfortable, elegant and an instant wardrobe staple! This cardigan combines a beautiful Irish Yarn with fun cables for a comfortable finished piece.
You begin with the saddles worked from the centre out from side to side. From here the back is picked up and then the front. Finally you finish the body with gentle A-line shaping in one piece.
The sleeves are worked from the top down using short row shaping to form the sleeve cap.

You can find the yarn kit here. The pattern has a discount code for full video workshop in pattern also.
