Basix 113 Geneva Top-Down Cardigan PDF

The Geneva Top-Down Cardigan is inspired by the aesthetic of that region – a great blend of style, warmth, and easy wearability. This pattern from the Basix collection is a top-down, set-in sleeve pattern, with short-row shaping to shape the sleeve cap (instructions on how to work short rows are included). The overlapping fronts keep you extra warm, and the lace edging gives it a very feminine look. The pattern also includes tips on how to customize your fit. Lace pattern is written out only.
