Diane is an intricate and delicately textured Cardigan with feminine shapes, that can be worn either wrapped (by adding a closure at the side) or open, for a more casual but still flattering look. Its ample, shapely lower body with the curved hem will help in simulating an hour-glass figure, however one chooses to wear it.
The all over patterned set-in sleeves, with their organically shaped cuff, add to the tailored look of the wide-cut body. Interesting details, like the broken up purl lines at the shoulders, that curve along the short rows and flow into the main, mirrored stitch pattern towards the sleeves, enhance the silhouette of this garment.
The whole front is knitted in growing stocking stitch lapels that almost never follow any straight edge; This concept is also found in both hemline and sleeve cuffs, which continue in a curved style for a softer overall look, but all those sections can easily be adjusted to the preference of the knitter.
