Soay
This cardigan is worked bottom up in one piece dividing at the armholes to work fronts and back separately. The sleeves are knitted seamlessly by picking up stitches around the armhole and working short rows to shape the cap. The button bands and neck are finished with a clean I-Cord Bind Off. Soay is a
versatile cardigan, which can be dressed up or down accordingly, perfect for Spring!
