“Rhombi” is a boxy cardigan that dresses up your casual outfit.
It is worked from the top down seamlessly with 2 yarns held together. The fronts and back are first worked back and forth separately. After short-row shoulder shaping, they are worked in Rhombi pattern to the underarm, then joined. The lower body is knitted in one piece to the hem.
Sleeves sts are picked up around the arm openings and worked down in the round in Rhombi pattern.
The front and neck edging are finished neatly with I-cord.
