Left Bank Cardigan is a vintage-inspired fitted cardigan with a lacy rib pattern on the body and on the hems of the sleeves. The cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top with raglan increases, so there’s no need to get out the sewing needle once you have finished knitting! The eyelet rib pattern looks intricate but is very straightforward and easy to remember. A V-neck, three-quarter length sleeves and seed stitch button band and collar add to the vintage flavor of the cardigan, while the ribbed fabric and under-bust shaping create the fitted shape. Left Bank Cardigan is easy to dress up or down; wear it with your favorite dress or a pair of jeans for every-day style.

SIZE
XS (S, M, L, 1X, 2X, 3X) (shown in size S).

Note: ribbed fabric pulls in and is very stretchy. Because of this, your finished cardigan will most likely look very narrow in width when it lies flat. However, when you wear it the stretchy nature of the ribbed fabric will create a perfect fit.
