Throw on this cardigan and unwind, it is an excellent casual layering piece. Cables twine from front to back, providing a visually flattering vertical line. Set-in sleeves flow smoothly from the shoulder to hug the wrist in a unique cable ribbing. Cozy up into the textured shawl collar if there is a chilly breeze, or drape it open as deep as you wish on a warm day.

Button bands are worked at the same time as the cardigan fronts, and make the perfect frame for distinctive buttons. The shawl collar is also continuous with the cardigan fronts, so there is no need to pick up stitches at the end. Sleeve cuffs are worked in a ribbing that mimics the cardigan’s cable. Two rows of single crochet complete and perfectly frame the finished piece. Sleek stockinette plus cables create this cardigan’s simple lines; these items make it an intriguing project that is fun to create and wear.
