**EMERAUDE CARDIGAN KNITTING PATTERN - FREE & PAID OPTIONS AVAILABLE** Introducing the **Emeraude Cardigan**, an exquisite top-down long-line design that combines elegant lace stripes with a modern, asymmetrical handkerchief hemline. This beautiful sweater is expertly knit flat from the top down using innovative raglan increases that not only create a flattering fit but also extend into the body of the cardigan, ensuring a stunning silhouette that drapes effortlessly.
