Cosy Links Cardigan
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cosy Links is a top down raglan cardigan, with some twists in the design. The raglan lines are highlighted by cables that curl into a side cable at the underarm.
This cardigan has a very feminine shape: it’s fitted at the waist and the hips are emphasized by the curved hem that is created by short
rows. There’s a slight positive ease incorporated into sizing, so that it gives a nice, feminine drape and a comfortable wear.
Although it’s not an easy pattern, and you have to pay attention to both the cable and the short row instructions, it’s a fun knit that will result a great garment. The warm and luxurious yarn makes it a fast knit and will keep you warm. You’ll be surprised to see the yardage too.
