This cardigan is a top-down, round-yoke, button-up design. The neckline and sleeves are fitted, whereas the body features a slightly oversized shape.

It features a minimal silhouette and can be styled in various ways depending on your choice of yarn material, sleeve length, and colours.

In the images above, the red/camel one is a cotton-linen blend used for the 3/4 sleeves, while the blue/brown one is wool for the full sleeves. The pattern includes both 3/4 sleeves and full sleeves.

You can easily modify the length of the sleeves and body to match your style.

It is completed with a button band secured by eight small buttons.
