Abbi: shawl collar cardigan

Discover the perfect cardigan that serves as a versatile layering piece for any season with our seamless, top-down raglan construction design. This cardigan is expertly crafted in one piece, eliminating any seams for a sleek, polished look. The sleeves feature a thoughtful split at the underarms, while the body is knitted continuously to the hem for maximum comfort and ease of wear. To enhance its elegance, stitches are picked up to create chic front bands, and short rows are skillfully employed to form a stylish shawl collar. For those who prefer a custom fit, the sleeve stitches can be easily transferred back to needles and bound off to create a cap sleeve; however, the pattern is adaptable, allowing you to tweak it for longer sleeves to suit your individual style.
