Description

VF183 Garter & Rib Cardigan

This lovely cardigan is worked in one piece to the armholes, then the sleeves are picked up and worked down, using optional short-row shaping to shape the sleeve caps. The Garter stitch panel at the bottom of the body is shaped gently to keep the sweater from clinging, and the 3/4-length sleeves (or alternative long sleeves) are belled slightly.
