A-line Cardigan Pattern

This A-line cardigan is worked from the bottom up in one piece, with a beautiful double moss stitch border.

The sweep of the cardigan is due to the insertion of a triangular detail at the back of the garment, adding interest without complication and creating a flattering A-line shape. The cardigan has raglan shaping and the sleeves are worked flat before seaming for stability.
