Pattern description from Vogue Knitting, Winter 2007/08: “Mari Lynn Patrick’s curved-front cardigan puckers up with a tuck stitch where you least expect it, at the inner sleeve seams. The hip-length, full-fashioned piece, in ‘Merino Cable’ from the S. Charles Collezione/Tahki.Stacy Charles, looks good coming and going thanks to the wraparound effect of the font seams and a back ribbed waist inset.”

“Standard-fitting tunic length cardigan with cutaway fronts that wrap to the back, inner shirred sleeves, back ribbed waistband and ribbed armhole trims. Sized for Small, Medium, Large, X-Large. Shown in size Medium on page 97.”

  • One pair each sizes 6, 8 and 10 (4, 5, and 6mm) needles or size to obtain gauge

Notes:

  1. There are 2 rev St st selvage sts on the body side seams. These selvage sts are not figured into the finished measurements of the pieces.
  2. The jacket seams will fall with the fronts curving around to the back with a shaped underarm seam. The rib trim around the armhole openings will make the armhole opening smaller than the schematic, to fit the sleeve cap.
