A stunning classic cardigan with a texture that soothes like a mantra.
Level ●●●●○ (4 / 5)
How to work the knitwear: The Serene Cardigan is worked top down seamlessly. First, cast on stitches for the back neck and work them flat to the underarm. Then, pick up the stitches for both fronts, join them for the back and work to hem. Next, work the sleeves. Finally, work the button band in double-knitting.
The cardigan has an European structure on shoulders that means they are sloping to backwards. The sleeves are decreased cleverly in cables.
