Shel Design’s Mitra is a
drapey, open-front cardigan that’s perfect for throwing on over just about any
outfit. Mitra has details that make it unique, with deep ribbed hems bordered by a lateral braid. Knit flat from the bottom up to the underarms. The fronts
and back are completed separately and joined at the shoulder with a three-needle
bind-off. The long sleeves are knit flat and set in during finishing. Knit in a
bulky weight yarn, Mitra will work up quickly and be a warm and cozy layer to
ward off the cold!
