Interweave SKU: EP1016

Pattern Description from Interweave Knits, Summer 2000:
IT IS THE DETAILING that makes this simple cropped cardigan special: the twisted-stitch rib perfectly showcases the rayon ribbon yarn, which gives off a pleasant sheen; the set-in sleeves, shaped shoulders, and back neck shaping keep it from looking too boxy; and the twisted cord closes the V-neck gracefully. The short length gives the sweater a youthful look. If desired, it can be extended by adding extra rows at the bottom.
