The Lucila Cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down. With classic stockinette stitch, its interest lies in the details, like the scarf collar and sleeves with sudden decreases right before the cuffs.

Construction begins at the back, which is shaped with German Short Rows. Stitches are then picked up for the fronts. Once the body is complete, the sleeves are worked in the round. Right before the cuffs, sudden decreases create an interesting sleeve shape. Finally, a scarf is worked as an integrated part of the collar, adding a distinctive detail.
