Olive Cardigan is the top down sister pattern to our popular Olive Turtleneck. Its ribbed edges compliment the allover lace patterning. Worked with 1 strand of our fingering-weight yarn held together with 2 strands of Silk Mohair, this cardigan boasts the soft, cloud-like texture of our other Olive patterns.

Olive Cardigan is worked seamlessly and back and forth, beginning with the ribbed neckband, and continuing with the raglan-construction yoke. The sleeve stiches are held aside, to be finished after the body is completed. Ribbed edges finish the sleeves and body.
