Jane is the sister of Sadie. She is classic, timeless and a little more serious than her free spirited and whimsical sister. Although these sisters have their differences, they are also alike in some ways. The Jane cardigan features a Garter Stitch yoke with a beautiful faux cable hem. Knit with Biscotte Yarn’s Albus this cardiagn is a beginner friendly, enjoyable knit.

The Jane cardigan is knit seamless in a circular yoke from the top down with stitches picked up and knit in 2x2 rib for the collar and front bands at the end. This cardigan is meant to be worn with 2 to 4 inches of positive ease.
