Product Description
Little black cardigans have always been a staple in my closet. This one is my new fave with its updated silhouette and details!
The cardigan is worked in one piece – so it's seamless! It begins by knitting the back from the shoulders down to the underarms. Short rows shape the shoulders and a simple eyelet lace design runs down the center back.
The fronts are then picked up and knit down with edge increases to create the V-neckline. A pretty cable and lace motif is worked on each front.
At the underarms, the back and fronts are joined together to form the body. The body is knit down to the cropped length. Sleeves are knit down to the cuff with a little bit of eyelet lace and gathering at the cuffs.
Ribbed front bands are then picked up and knit, with buttonholes created along the way. The cable and lace patterns are charted and written.
