Working Cables Cardigan
**About the Design:** This stylish sweater boasts a fitted silhouette, providing just the right amount of ease to comfortably fit over your favorite blouse or top. Designed for versatility, it pairs beautifully with jeans for a casual weekend look, while also elevating your outfit for the office when styled with a skirt or slacks. Crafted from the luxurious and unique Peace Fleece worsted yarn, this fiber blend features 70% American and Russian wool combined with 30% mohair, offering both warmth and softness. The Peace Fleece yarn comes in a variety of stunning heather shades, making it perfect for a range of color palettes.
The innovative square-inset sleeves not only provide a stylish touch but also reduce underarm bulk for added comfort. Finishing touches are kept minimal to maintain a clean and polished appearance. The edges are finished with a single crochet (sc) and slip stitch technique, creating a crisp line that enhances the overall design. The back neck features shaping achieved through short rows, while the large collar elegantly sits away from the neck, ensuring both style and comfort.
