About the design
The Hiimari Cardigan is a cozy, slightly A-line cardigan with a soft double neckband and a wide hem ribbing. It is worked seamlessly from the top down, back and forth in rows and later in the round.
The button band is picked up along the front edges and knitted on. The cardigan is closed with buttons.
The sleeves are worked in the round without decreases and finished with wide ribbed cuffs. For the body, back and fronts are joined and continued in rows.
Thanks to the top-down construction, all lengths can be adjusted individually to fit your measurements.
