Manzo
Discover the beauty of seamless knitting with our exquisite cardigan pattern, expertly designed to be knitted from the top down. This versatile cardigan features a unique border that is crafted simultaneously with the body, ensuring a cohesive and stylish finish. The sleeves, which are temporarily set aside, are later knitted in the round for a polished look.
The modern touch of stripes at the bottom adds a trendy flair to the cardigan, allowing you to choose between a sophisticated shade effect with a color close to your main yarn or a vibrant contrasting color for a more striking and pronounced striped effect. This design is perfect for knitters looking to enhance their wardrobe with a fashionable yet comfortable piece.
