The Puro Cardigan is a simple cardigan designed to be comfortable and easy to wear. Worked with a 6.5 mm (US 10.5) needle, it knits up very quickly and easily. This shoulder construction of the cardigan was inspired by the one often seen on trench coats, with set-in sleeves in the front and raglan sleeves in the back. In order to approach this structure, the back and front increases were differentiated. As a result, the design maintains clean line in the front while leaving room for movement in the back. It is knitted from the top down and the front band is added later. It can be knit to any length you like.
