Shibui Knits Lineal PDF

Knit with two strands of Shibui Knits Cima, Lineal is an ultra-soft and versatile cardigan. The body of this women's sweater is worked in one piece from the bottom up to the armholes, then divided for fronts and back and worked separately to shoulders. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armholes and shaped with short rows. Parallel I-cord rows anchor the bottom hems while an angled neckline provides a modern flair.
