This is a pattern for a top down cardigan with set in sleeves. You will work the back and front yokes with short row shaping and then join the 3 pieces to work the body. You will pick up sts for the sleeves and work these in the round. Finally you will work buttonbands and collar. There is sleeve and waist sinching by working estonian braid and cable leaf motif on smaller needles.
gauge/tension: 19 sts x 28 rows = 4”/10cm st st over Moss Stitch on 4.5mm needles
Mona Zillah - bunnymuff
Inspired by the environments around me, I strive to make relevant designs that are clever additions to any outfit; blending traditional and contemporary styles, with a focus on colourwork. Most bunnymuff patterns are easily adjustable for a personal best fit in an extended range of sizes. bunnymuff supports ethical sourcing and climate/people conscious buttons, wool stuffing, and other notions!
