Lucy Cardigan

This cardigan is knitted from the bottom up, with the button bands knitted at the same time as the body and a narrow shawl collar. Short rows are worked at the back of the neck, and the front panels are longer than the back to create a beautiful drape over the shoulders.

The construction allows the cardigan to hang open naturally. This means you can actually subtract 5–10 cm from your bust measurement when choosing your size.

The cardigan is designed to be worn without buttonholes, perhaps with a few cute hook-and-eye fasteners sewn on instead. But feel free to add buttonholes if you prefer!

NOTE! If you plan to button up the cardigan, choose one size larger.
