Boudicca Cardigan
Introducing our beautifully designed women’s cardigan, featuring an exquisite braided Celtic knot at the center back, elegantly flanked by intricate twisted rope cables. This eye-catching cardigan is not just stylish but also practical, with the front edges adorned with matching rope cables that enhance its overall aesthetic. The body of the cardigan is expertly crafted in stockinette stitch, incorporating waist shaping for a flattering fit. This pattern is designed to be worked in one continuous piece, back and forth, until reaching the armholes, at which point the fronts and back are divided and shaped individually for a more refined silhouette. The long sleeves are skillfully knit in the round up to the underarms, with the sleeve caps worked back and forth, ensuring a comfortable and tailored finish. Once completed, the sleeves are easily sewn into the armholes. To add the final touch, ribbing at the front bands and neckline completes the overall look of this stunning cardigan.
