About the design …
A Good Cigar is a traditional raglan cardigan. It is knitted from top to bottom - first with a deep edge in rib and then in the textured Bamboo stitch pattern. The shape is wide - and the length you have the opportunity to adjust as you like. A special feature is the round and ribbed edge - it looks like crochet but it is a purled I-cord edge.
