Back in the Saddle

*Back in the Saddle is an intricately designed one-piece, top-down cardigan that stands out for its unique construction and thoughtful design features. This stylish cardigan utilizes contiguous increases to achieve a saddle shoulder, providing a flattering fit that is both comfortable and fashionable. The shoulder caps are artfully shaped using short rows, lending the jacket a tailored appearance that sets it apart from traditional cardigans. The contiguous set-in sleeves are expertly crafted down to the underarms, ensuring a seamless and polished finish.

The yoke ribbing introduces an element of sophistication to the design, giving this jacket a distinctive flair that is sure to impress. For added versatility, the button bands or zippered edges are skillfully picked up after the body of the jacket is completed, culminating in an elegant i-cord bind off that enhances the overall aesthetic. **Please note that the featured project showcases a Child size 12, but since my son is only 10 and a half, I opted for this size to ensure he has ample room to grow and enjoy this cardigan for years to come!** This makes it an excellent investment piece that adapts to his changing size.
