Winden Cardigan
WINDEN is a super cozy cabled cardigan, perfect for throwing on over almost anything. The single and double cable crosses are intuitive and satisfying to work, and a panel of cables run up the center of the set-in sleeves.
The body is worked in one piece from the hem to the underarms, then divided for the fronts and back. Sleeves are worked in the round to the underarm, then flat for the sleeve cap and seamed in. Button bands and collar are picked up and worked last.
