Shibui Knits Joplin PDF

Your essential cardigan from board meeting to a night on the town: Shibui Knits Joplin. This women’s sweater is knit in Shibui Knits Twig, and you’ll never want to take it off. Joplin is a generously shaped waterfall cardigan or vest with a wide ribbing at the hem and a subtly undulating reversible texture at side edges and color. The cardigan is knit flat in one piece from the bottom up, then split at the armholes for back and fronts. Shibui Knits Twig is a tweedy, slightly rustic & textured blend of linen, recycled silk, and wool. Twig is the perfect choice for warm-weather garments: it's crisp, flowing and lightweight. It will soften with each hand-washing, too.
