Sorelle Cardigan

Sorelle Cardigan is a feminine cardigan featuring a boat neckline, a narrow button band, and subtly flared sleeves. The clean silhouette and delicate details give the garment a timeless and elegant look.

The cardigan is worked top down in stockinette stitch. The yoke is first shaped with short rows, followed by shoulder increases, sleeve increases, and finally raglan increases, creating a beautiful fit across the shoulders and sleeves. Once the yoke is complete, the work is divided into body and sleeves, which are finished separately. Lastly, stitches are picked up along the front edges for narrow i-cord button bands with integrated buttonholes.
