The Cardigan uses an elaborate marled combination of stripes to achieve a flattering, feminine silhouette. Short rows at the top of the yoke adapt the large stripes of the back section to the delicate collarbone area, which magically slim down when reaching the fronts. The change in striping enhances the feminine body shape while 3/4 sleeves and soft sloping, irregular raglan lines allow for a comfortable fit and look. At the end, the contrasting button band is worked in short- rows and forms a curved V-Neck to delicately break up the horizontal lines of the body. All techniques and methods are either explained in the pattern itself with attached photo tutorials, or links are provided that point to web-tutorials. |
