Rose Spring Cardigan

Rose Spring Cardigan is a lightweight cardigan for warm spring days. The cardigan is worked top down in one piece. The shoulder construction is inspired by Susie Myers’s contiguous sleeve method but with variations in the increase methods. Increases at different points in combination with passed over stitches create interesting shaping lines at the shoulders. The front bands are worked simultaneously with the body; differences in row gauge create a slight contraction of the front bands.
