Lovisa Cardigan

Lovisa Cardigan is a classic oversized cardigan with beautiful shoulder details and a round neckline. It is made in a lightweight, warm, and soft wool yarn that breathes well and provides a neat, elastic stitch definition. The cardigan is worked from the top down, beginning with shoulder increases on both the right and wrong sides. Then, the shoulder stitches are divided into two parts on each side, sleeve increases are worked, and finally, raglan increases are made. Stitches are later picked up along the front edges for button bands, followed by picking up stitches for the neckband. The cuffs, neckband, and button bands are worked in 2x2 rib.
