This cardigan is knit from the top down with a drop shoulder construction. This is a great beginner cardigan, even the cables are very easily memorized after a couple of repeats. The inspriration for this cardigan came from wanting an easy to wear everyday cardigan that was also relaxing to knit.

Thanks for the pattern. It looks really beautiful & I’m anxious to start it. I especially like the back detail. However I am currently working on another cardigan and I want to finish it first. Irene
