This cardigan is worked from the top down with a drop-shoulder construction. The seamless structure allows you to adjust the length of both the body and sleeves as you knit. Sleeves are picked up from the body and worked in the round, making it easy to customize both width and length. The body is constructed in modular pattern sections, allowing the overall length to be adjusted naturally by adding or omitting pattern panels.

The design combines a variety of textured stitch patterns, creating an engaging knitting experience with variation in each section. The front is finished with a double-knit button band, which stabilizes the rich textures and adds balance to the overall silhouette. A deep V-neckline reduces visual heaviness and creates a relaxed, open fit.

Skill Level : Intermediate to Advanced
