Gabul Cardigan is an oversized cardigan with V-neck shaping. The cardigan is knitted seamlessly from the bottom-up with sleeves worked separately and attached to the body later. Shaping of the body is worked with raglan decreases. In the end, the collar and button band is worked in one piece by picking up stitches along the body of the cardigan.
