The Cable Sleeved Cardi is a slimmer fitting chunky bomber, designed to minimise as much bulk as possible. Throw it on with jeans or a midi dress to stay warm and trendy, while the sleeves are slim enough to fit under a big coat.

The Cable Sleeved Cardi is constructed seamlessly to the underarms, and then the sleeves are knitted in the round, (and can be done two-at-a-time if you’re feeling adventurous!) Next, the body and arms are joined together to start the raglan shaping, and then the neck trim is picked up and knitted around the neckline. Once you’ve grafted your underarms stitches together, your cardigan is ready to wear!

The Cable Sleeved Cardi is a normal fit. You may wish to knit a larger size for an oversized fit.

The adult model is a UK size 10-12 and is wearing the Cable Sleeved Cardi in size medium.
