Type-V cardigan
€8.00
design: Noriko Ichikawa
Description
The Type-V Cardigan is a top-down, V-neck cardigan featuring a relaxed silhouette with generous ease throughout the body and sleeves. The design combines a deep yoke and cropped length with a shaped back hem for a modern, balanced look. With its comfortable fit and effortless style, it looks just as great layered over a simple T-shirt as over thicker tops.
Construction : The project begins at the neck edge, where the back neck is shaped while forming the neckline. The yoke is worked with a modified raglan construction. After the sleeve separation, the body is worked flat to the ribbed hem, while the sleeves are worked in the round. Finally, stitches are picked up along the front edges to create a 1×1 rib button band, with buttonholes worked simultaneously.
