This stylish boyfriend cardigan begins with a deep rib and has options for waist shaping or a straight fit, depending on your style and preference.

The body begins with the same ribbing as the sleeves and is worked flat in one piece from the hem to the underarms, at which point the fronts and back are worked separately to the shoulders.

The cardi also features set in sleeves, afterthought pockets for a relaxed touch and a button band that is knit directly onto the body and continues around the neckline to create an extended collar.
