The Maybury Cardigan is a seamless cardigan which is knit top-down in a DK yarn or in fingering-weight yarn and brushed lace-weight yarn held together. The button-band is knit at the same time as the rest of the garment using a special double knitting technique to create a beautiful vertical band. Absolutely no seaming is required for this design. It is a comfy fit, designed to be worn with approximately 4-6”/ 10- 15 cm of positive ease. The cardigan features a classic v-neck and is high hip length with instructions for shortening or lengthening if desired. The fisherman’s rib is incredibly warm and lofty, perfect for chilly days and evenings.
This design has been Tech Edited and Test Knit.
