Cardigan THREE - Boyfriend
Introducing our fabulous Boyfriend Style Cardigan, an easy and stylish addition to your wardrobe! This cardigan is expertly designed to be worked seamlessly from the top down, incorporating smooth Raglan increases for a relaxed fit. The gorgeous V-neckline is created with strategic increases added later, giving it a flattering shape. You will work the body of the cardigan flat until reaching the underarm, where sleeves are then separated to allow for a tidy finish of the body. The sleeves are subsequently knitted in the round, ensuring a comfortable fit. To complete your project, a button band and convenient pockets are added at the end for both functionality and style.
