The Nata Cardigan is a cozy piece knitted from top to bottom. It features a classic European shoulder line and offers a relaxed, comfortable fit. Thoughtful details, such as purl stitches along the sleeves and hem, create a charming seam-like effect.

To knit the cardigan, you will start with the back and front pieces, which are then joined together. The hem is knitted flat, while the sleeves are worked in the round. To finish, pick up stitches along the edge to form a neat ribbed button band.
