A knitting pattern by Elizabeth Sullivan
This fitted cropped cardigan is designed to be worn over a pretty summer dress, but could also dress up jeans and a simple top. The cardigan is worked seamlessly from the bottom up with a wide ribbed hem, raglan shaping and a cable that winds up both sleeves. A tubular cast-on and bind-off create a smooth and elastic edge. Please note that the cable panel is given in chart form only.
