Cardigan THREE - Boyfriend
Introducing our delightful **Boyfriend Style Cardigan**, a perfect blend of comfort and style, designed to be your go-to layering piece for any season. This cardigan is expertly constructed seamlessly from the top down using **Raglan increases**, ensuring a flawless fit and sleek silhouette. The V-neck front features additional neckline increases that add a sophisticated touch to the overall design.
The body of the cardigan is worked flat up to the underarm, then the sleeves are separated, allowing you to finish the body first before working the sleeves in the round. This method not only simplifies construction but also enhances the cardigan’s drape. Finally, a stylish button band and functional pockets are added to complete the look, merging utility with fashion.
