Czarina is an opened, flattering cardigan with rich and cozy collar, sweet pockets in contrasting color, and unusual, oval-shaped sweater construction, which gives just enough touch of warmth and comfort but without exess fabric, so typical for most circular sweaters. Draped front can be worn opened, or attached one side to another with shawl pin or one large button. Lines created with a simple rib pattern and stylish increases additionally emphasize the silhouette shapes. This all makes this sweater an unique piece of garment you won’t take off.
This instruction allows you to choose between 3 of available sweater styles, reversible – with reversible pockets, normal - with regular pockets, or simple and reversible - without pockets.
Sweater is worked top down seamlessly. After finishing the sleeves shaping stitchess are picked up from the raglan edges and back of the sweater, then sweater is worked in the rounds until you reach desired length. After finishing the body of the sweater, sleeves are worked in the rounds with circular needle and magic loop technique.
