About

The Vivienne Cardigan is a vintage inspired cardigan with two classic & easy stitch patterns. The cardigan is worked top down and shaped with German Short Rows. Part of the back and front are first worked separately after which the sleeve stitches are picked up and the puff sleeve is created with German Short Rows and increases. Afterwards the body and sleeves are knit straight ending with classic 1x1 ribbing. The fronts are finished with neat double knitted button bands. Finally stitches are picked up for the double folded collar.
