This cardigan is knit from the top down in an all-over stitch pattern created by alternating left and right twists. The collar is picked up gradually to add shaping and height, and double thickness creates a wonderfully full shawl collar, cementing the cornerstone of this look.
This product is a PDF knitting pattern.
