Simply Cable Cardigan (English)

Simply Cable Cardigan is a timeless cardigan with a focus on structure and shape. Classic cables run down the outside of the sleeve, creating a graphic look. The rest of the cardigan is worked in stockinette stitch. The sleeves are slightly oversized with a soft, relaxed shape. The bold cables run along the sleeves and give structure without feeling heavy. Wide ribbed cuffs at the wrists and at the bottom of the body finish off the shape and give a calm ending. The cardigan is finished with ribbed button bands and a neckband.
