The design process begins with a captivating open-lace, cabled neckband that is skillfully worked side to side. From there, stitches are picked up along one edge of the neckband, which seamlessly transitions to the body and sleeves. The rest of the cardigan is expertly crafted in a top-down manner, making it accessible for knitters of all expertise levels.
Adding to its allure, thin button bands are thoughtfully picked up and knit, starting just above the flattering waistline. The elegant inverted v-shape created by the waist band when buttoned is designed to enhance your figure beautifully. For an optional touch of versatility, charming chain ties can be incorporated at the neckline, allowing for a sophisticated keyhole effect when the top buttons are left open, or to secure the cardigan if you prefer leaving all the buttons undone.
