The Dab cardigan is a topdown cardigan mainly in stockinet that makes simple impressions and light fabric. Most of the edge finishing, such as the neckband and button holes, is incorporated into knitting of the body. It is designed to fit to the body nice and easy. Its narrow neckline and shaped raglan can help moving without any stress and ensure comfortable wearing every day.
You can knit this cardigan with all kinds of color combinations in borders or blocks. Also you can wear it in many ways. With all of the front buttons closed, it wears like an ordinary sweater; with a few buttons open, like a Henley; and with all of the buttons open, an open front cardigan.
As cooler weather calls for some extra warmth, your favorite color Dab can be worn under a jacket or coat, or can become an accent piece to your outfit on your shoulders or around your face.
Show off your Dab in your own style.
