Eva Cardigan Knitting Pattern - PetiteKnit
Eva Cardigan
The Eva Cardigan is a beautifully structured top-down V-neck cardigan with a wide ribbed placket. The yoke begins with back shaping, and the shoulders are formed from picked-up stitches. After joining the front and back, increases shape the V-neck. The body is worked flat, while sleeves are knit in the round. A generous fit with a clean silhouette makes this a stylish layering piece. Designed with substantial positive ease in the smaller sizes and a gradually slimmer fit in the larger ones.
