Elegant Aran Cable Cardigan Coat – Knitting Pattern
“This stunning cardigan is expertly knitted in one continuous piece, featuring innovative seaming techniques that create its unique silhouette. The base of the design is a double moss stitch, which provides texture and warmth. A striking, giant interlocking cable pattern elegantly traverses both fronts and extends across the shoulders, resulting in a distinctive edge-to-edge cardigan. Perfect for layering, this piece can be worn solo or belted with your favorite leather accessory for a chic look.” - Jo Storie
