DETAILS
The FROZEN LIGHTS Cardigan is knitted from the top down in rows. The shoulder is constructed as European Shoulder. The style has an oversized fit and a V-neck. Since the panel is built right into the front pieces, there’s hardly any finishing needed later on.
The open front design with no buttons or buttonholes calls for a relaxed, effortless look. You can wear it casually left open or fasten it with a decorative pin, brooch, or shawl stick for a touch of personal style.
The sweater has been designed to fit with a positive ease of approx. 4” (10 cm). Choose your size according to your desired fit / ease.
The pattern has been tech knitted and technical edited.
