Tailored cuffs add gentle geometry to Shibui
Knits Virga designed by Jennifer Miller.
Experience the delicate blend that is lustrous silk combined with the warmth of
extrafine Merino and kid mohair. Virga is knit in two pieces, from each cuff toward
the center. The cuffs are knit with two strands of Lunar, and the remainder of
the cardigan is knit with one strand of Lunar and one strand of Tweed Silk
Cloud held together. The sleeves are knit in the round, then split to form the
body. The two pieces are joined at the center back with a three-needle
bind-off and the front edges are continued on the remaining stitches. Get this PDF pattern for
