Gull Stitch Cardigan Knitting Pattern Download

Description

Worked in plain stockinette pannels and gull-stitch cables, this innovative, asymmetric design is a quick knit on size 10 ½ needles. A defined waist, flared ribbed cuffs, and set-in sleeves make it decidedly feminine. The unadorned square neckline is edged in simple crab stitch, and a zipper placed under the cabled flap is barely detectable.
