This is an abstracted version of the basic round-neck cardigan. Rolled edges and the absence of ribbing at the neck and front band give the sweater a soft, contemporary feel. Because the styling is so simple, it is an ideal pattern to show off a complex yarn, yet the sweater’s simplicity can be equally striking in a traditional yarn. Whether the cardigan is knitted close-fitting or boxy, you need at least one.
