These sporty cardigans feature extra long sleeves and a slim fit, and are perfect for cycling in the colder months. The aerodynamic ribbed elbow detailing (worked sideways and shaped as you go) makes this garment special and adds interest to the piece’s seemingly basic construction. Best of all, Cookie’s pattern provides plenty of sizing options for all genders to enjoy!

CONSTRUCTION

• Fronts and Back are worked flat.
• Shaped elbow bands are worked flat with shaping and then seamed to create a ring.
• Stitches are picked up along the edge of the elbow band and worked in the round for the lower arm.
• The upper arm is worked similarly, picking up stitches from the other side of the elbow band, in the round up to the underarm then flat for the sleeve cap.
