Worked from the bottom up, this fitted cardigan features a lovely lace button placket and lacy sleeves. Near-seamless construction (you’ll sew the shoulders together) and minimal waist shaping mean you’ll be done in no time at all! Knit the coordinating tank, Somerleyton, for a classic twinset you’ll be wearing for years to come.
