Lennart Cardigan is a classic button-up cardigan worked in one piece top-down. It features ribbed raglan lines and garter-stitch button bands. Lennart is perfect for crisp mornings and for layering on the coldest days. Its relaxed fit leaves space also for play.

Lennart Cardigan is knitted seamlessly from the top down. The neck ribbing, raglan yoke and body are worked flat, and the button bands are worked in garter stitch at the same time as the fronts. Finally, the sleeves are worked in the round from the underarm to the cuff.
