Käpy is a combination of a shawl and cardigan, with generous positive ease and a very loose fit. The wide, overlapping fronts have no closure. The cardigan begins with a long lace panel worked sideways after which stitches are picked for the striped part of the body along the long edge. Lastly, the sleeves are worked in the round from the top down.
