If you like cardigans and don’t like purling, you will love this garter stitch cardigan! It is worked almost seamlessly from the top down. It is mostly made with knit stitch. The rolled front band is worked at the same time as the cardigan, making it easy to adjust the length. The shoulders are shaped to make sure that the cardigan hangs well.
Moonlight Cardigan is graded with inclusive sizing in mind, designed to fit actual bust sizes from 76 cm / 30 inches to 168 cm / 66 inches. Measurements are given in both cm and inches.
