The Neon Outline Cardi is an big and cosy cardigan with patch pockets, designed to highlight the seams which we usually try to hide! Throw it on with loungewear for a comfy night in front of the TV.

The Neon Outline Cardi is knitted in flat panels, that are seamed with a crochet hook on the right side to create a spine effect. The sleeves are worked seamlessly in the round to reduce bulk, and then the neckline trim is worked at the end for a professional finish. Finally, some additional contrast stitching is crocheted around the edges of the cardigan.

The Neon Outline Cardi is an oversized fit. You may wish to knit a smaller size for a closer fit.

The adult model is a UK size 10-12 and is wearing the Neon Outline Cardi in size medium.
