Syster
Syster is a, at first glance, very classic cardigan.
At second glance you can discover a lot of new things.
In the front Syster has a saddle shoulder and crispy lines go straight down. In the back, the saddle shoulder line has been rounded and the stitches all run diagonally to the center.
My most beautiful discovery while knitting was that I found the perfect panel for the half fisherman’s rib, which you knit right along with it. It is knitted in a double knitted technique. Buttonholes can be inserted here easily and almost perfectly. (They are the most beautiful I have ever knitted).
I love Syster and it is my absolute favorite.
