A sweetly pert cardigan, perfect for Spring days, with fully-fashioned shaping, a deeply scooped neck and delicately flared sleeves.

Gutgold features an almost entirely seamless construction complete with set in top down short sleeves and integral button bands. Designed to be a smooth addition to your wardrobe with its effortlessly vintage inspired styling, this cheerful cardigan is as much to wear as it is to knit. Two short seams provide a touch of stability to the shoulder, while the seamless body is sits gracefully on your curves.

Gutgold is worked in one piece to the armholes, where you divide into three parts: the left front, the back, and the right front. The sleeves, with their saucily short length, are a quick finishing touch, giving you a fantastic, work appropriate sweater for your closet almost instantly. With delicate pearl buttons, Gutgold could join the Junior League, or emphasize its Pin Up Girl appeal with something a little funkier. Gutgold is such a quick knit, you could even make two!
