Fancy a fun cardigan for a night on the tiles?

The Knitting and Gin cardigan is a cropped cardigan designed to be close fitting. The cardigan is worked from the bottom up.

The Gin bottle and glass are worked from charts using the stranded and Intarsia techniques.
The yoke is worked with raglan shaping and a cable design. Short rows are worked at the back of the neck to ensure a good fit. Embroidery is added to the Gin bottle and the glass to add detail.
