The Evergreen cardigan features three different textures that are relaxing to knit but keep the work interesting without being fussy. The cardigan features saddle shoulders, a shawl collar, and a button-band, making for a handsome addition to any
wardrobe. While the sizes are calculated based on men’s sizing
standards, it will also work well as a unisex garment, with the
simple construction making any needed modifications simple to
make. This all-purpose cardigan is evergreen in nature and not
just in colour, as it can be worn everywhere, anytime, and in any
colour!
