This classic hip-length cardigan is perfect for those days when the weather is starting to turn chilly, but you’re not ready to give up dresses and short sleeves just yet. A bias twisted-rib collar and asymmetrical fronts add visual interest to the Akerlof Jacket. This jacket is worked back and forth in separate pieces and seamed; a slipped-stitch edge creates a tidy facing along the fronts.
