Mimosa Cardigan / Vest

Mimosa is a relaxed Y-neck cardigan and vest featuring delicate, three-dimensional stitch motifs inspired by mimosa blossoms. The combination of airy eyelets and textured stitches creates a light, naturally draping fabric, while the generous fit makes it comfortable and easy to wear.

Construction Notes
Mimosa is worked from the top down, beginning with the back, which is worked flat. Stitches are then picked up along the shoulders to work each front separately. Short rows shape the shoulders. After the shoulder shaping is complete, increases along the front edges create the Y-neckline.
The fronts and back are joined at the underarms, and the body is worked flat to the hem. For the cardigan, stitches are picked up around the armholes and the sleeves are worked in the round. For the vest, the armholes are finished with knitted bands.
