289 Aurora Shawl Collar Cardigan - Knitting Pattern for Women in Valley Yarns Northampton Bulky

This beautifully designed cardigan serves as the ideal choice for a heavy sweater or a stylish light jacket. The unique shaping of this garment effectively minimizes the bulk often found in thicker yarns, ensuring a flattering fit. Additionally, the charming shawl collar not only frames the neckline beautifully but also adds a delightful twist to the knitting experience. The body of the cardigan is constructed from the bottom up, allowing for seamless integration, while the sleeves are expertly picked up around the armholes and knitted down to the cuff for a polished finish.
