This cardigan is worked top-down in the round and seamlessly. The cardigan has a round yoke with an enchanting spruce pattern. Though, the showstopper is the giant fox at center back. The cardigan has a folded turtleneck, long sleeves with more spruces at the cuff. Once the cardigan is finished, you will pick up stitches along the fronts and work the button bands. Finally, the cardigan is cut open, i.e., steeked.
