A Useful Cardigan

Cardigans are so useful…
A tailored cardigan in an attractive bobble stitch with raglan sleeves and a deep welt that sits well over a slim skirt
Our model wears it as a cardigan-cum-sweater, but it looks perfect over a blouse or sweater*

MEASUREMENTS: To fit a 38-inch bust. Length at centre back including neckband, 21 inches. Length of sleeve seam (without cuff turnback), 20 inches.
For 38- to 40-inch bust, knit at half a tension slacker throughout with the exception of the collar which should be knitted slightly longer.
TENSION: 7 stitches (counting Back Bed stitches only) and 18 rows (4.5 patterns) to 1 inch.
