The Traveler's Cardigan is worked from the top down and is closed in the front with buttons. It features back shaping and dropped shoulders for a relaxed fit. The sleeves are designed to be loose and finished with a balloon cuff. The button band is worked simultaneously with the body which means less finishing work. A classic design meant for everyday wear.
Knitting pattern available in English.
