This versatile cardigan is knit top-down. Front and back pieces are knitted separately to underarm, then joined together to seamlessly complete the garment. The front button panel/ shawl collar is picked up and worked with short rows. Seamless set-in sleeves are picked up and worked top down using short rows. To finish, simply add buttons and seam shoulders! This top looks beautiful worn buttoned or as an open front, it can be worn casually or more formal. I love to wear it open over autumn dresses and it’s my go-to cardigan on cool spring nights.

Thank you to the testers of this pattern!

As with all my patterns, this is a fundraiser to help support my rescued dog, Luna.
