The Light Air Cardigan is a short, hip-length, oversized cardigan with two large pockets. The pattern is suitable for beginners and is worked flat without shoulder seams, with the back and fronts knitted in one piece. The sleeves are worked after the main body has been completed, and the cardigan is finished with two side seams, two sleeve seams and a centre-back seam. The shoulder folds are not sewn. The Light Air Cardigan is a versatile design that can also be worn upside down for a different look. Its relaxed shape makes it an easy everyday piece that pairs well with a variety of outfits and can be worn both at home and outside.
